Once again the twins Matthew and Jessica are whisked back in time to experience history.
Miranda the magic doll with her magic fan takes them back to Bootle in the nineteenth century.
They see the water front the way it was then, a bathing and health resort for the wealthy people, with its own castle near the beach. They meet a miller and Matthew helps to distribute flour to a sailing ship. Jessica helps out by baking biscuits for a sea captain. Teddy who has been whisked back with them goes up in an air balloon.
They are then chased by a ship’s captain and hide from him. He finally catches them but to their surprise he rewards them before they are whisked back once more to the twenty first century.
