The ice skater reminded me of the movie Somewhere in Time. The grandfather's clock ringing on the 13th hour is for me very imaginative. They don't talk about anything profound like Charlotte and Wilbur but the revelation is so gripping that would not think that this book was published during the time when your parents were probably not born yet (1958). The difference between the two is that the characters in this book, Tom and the elderly Hatty, are real people so it is easy to identify with them. Prior to this, my most moving scene was in the book Charlotte's Web (1952) specifically when the many baby spiders appear in the barn one morning while Charlotte (the lady spider) is explaining to Wilbur (the pig) the passing of time. The final scene is the most heartwarming and moving scene in a children's book that I've so far encountered. Then in the end, there is another surprise but I will not tell you what as I do not want to spoil your reading. To give you an example, in the movie Sixth Sense, you know right away who are the ghosts because the boy character says "I see dead people." Here, at first, I thought Hatty was clearly the ghost until she described Tom and then I did not know anymore. Time Slip is used brilliantly in the plot that you don't know between the two main characters, Tom or Hatty, is the ghost and who is a real human being. If this were not one of the children's books in the 501 Must Read Books, I would not have picked this up. This is my 98th book this year and just my 2nd children's fiction. To give you an example, in the movie Sixth Sense, you know right away who are the ghosts because the boy charact I was surprised finding myself that I really liked this book.

Usually, a short story will focus on only one incident, has a single plot, a single setting, a limited number of characters and covers a short period of time.
They tend to be less complex than novels. Modern trend in them emerged as their own genre in the early 19th century. The history of this kind of stories dates back to the oral story-telling traditions. These stories have their origins in oral story-telling traditions and the prose anecdote, a swiftly-sketched situation that comes rapidly to its point. It is usually fictional, narrative prose and tends to be more concise and to the point than longer works of fiction.
