An in-depth and open minded investigation of the 'Moberly-Jourdain Incident' in which two English women claimed to have witnessed a time-travel event and ghostly apparitions, including that of Marie Antoinette, while visiting the grounds of the Palace of Versailles in 1901, an account of which they published in 1911 as 'An Adventure'.
