I thought this book started a bit slow but it was definitely fun to read. Time traveling historians are struggling to correct an incongruity because someone has done something and its disturbed the timeline of history. The historians interact with characters from Victorian England and struggle to maintain proper manners while also struggling to ensure the world doesn't get horribly screwed up because of someone's inadvertent actions. Its humorous and well-written.
