I had never heard or read of this incident before and I had never before encountered the term folie à deux, which has been suggested as an explanation for it. The book is called An Adventure, and it was published in 1911 under the pseudonyms Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont. The authors' real names were Charlotte Anne Moberly (1846–1937) and Eleanor Jourdain (1863-1924). The incident is supposed to have taken place on August 10, 1901, in the gardens of le Petit Trianon, a château at Versailles. It sounds like a fascinating book. The story behind it may be even more fascinating.<br /><br />THTerence E.

The book is "An Adventure", by two ladies, and is a very well documented and researched book of the time travel experiences of the two ladies, and others, to the gardens at Versailles in the early 20th century. The book is fascinating, and I'm delighted it comes from Henry and Sylvia's collection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
