The Timekeeper

Fantasy Children’s Books Young Adult

Emily Rodda’s vintage fantasy The Timekeeper invites young readers—and nostalgic adults—into a pocket-sized adventure perfect for bedtime reading. First published in 1992, this collectible Australian novel blends gentle suspense with the warmth of a classic children’s tale.

This hardcover first edition arrives with its original illustrated dust jacket, protected by only light shelf wear. Inside, 184 crisp, unmarked pages are tightly bound, free of writing, dog-ears, or ex-library stamps, making the book feel surprisingly fresh for its age.

Ideal for ages 9-12 yet engaging enough for teens and grown-up Rodda fans, the story slips easily into any collector’s shelf of antiquarian children’s literature. Add this charming Timekeeper first printing to complete your Emily Rodda set or spark a new reader’s imagination.
