Harding's Luck
E. Nesbit
“And it seemed quite plain to him that if this that had happened to him was not magic, then there never was and never would be any magic to happen to any one.”
Raised in poverty by an uncaring foster mother, Dickie Harding has nowhere to go but up when he decides to run away and take to life on the road. Still, one thing he’ll miss are the strange white sunflowers that he grew in his dusty back garden, so he gathers their seeds and places them with his most precious possession—a silver baby rattle bearing a mysterious crest—before going to sleep for one last night in his old home. But the next morning, Dickie finds himself magically transported three hundred years back in time, waking as the son of a nobleman during the reign of King James I. Soon, Dickie learns how to move between the two times at will and begins living a double life—and as his adventures in the past reveal, he just might have a third identity yet to be uncovered in the present
