Emily Rodda’s 1992 novel The Timekeeper is a collectible first edition that transports readers across centuries in a race against a cosmic clock. This hardcover, complete with its original illustrated dust jacket, is perfect for bedtime reading or for young-adult fans of Australian fantasy.

The book shows gentle shelf life: crisp, unmarked pages, square binding, and only light scuffs on the jacket edges—no writing, dog-ears, or ex-library marks. At 184 pages it feels solid in hand yet light enough for nightly chapter escapes.

A scarce first printing from the creator of Deltora Quest, it suits collectors of vintage children’s literature, Rodda completists, and anyone hunting a nostalgic time-travel tale for ages 9–12 and up.
