Bellwether is about trends research, sheep, Pied Pipers, smoking nazis, lattes, barbies, and True Love. No time travel.

To Say Nothing of the Dog is comic time travel to the Victorian era. Also the the Blitz and a couple other spots. Lady Schrapnel has decided to restore Coventry Cathedral to its original glory and is making time travellers research it for her, and the hero's job is to find out what happened to the Bishop's Bird Stump, an exquisite example of Victorian art. It also involved time paradoxes, the unravelling of the space-time continuum, Enigma, why Napoleon lost at Waterloo, croquet, jumble sales, literary references, and True Love. Oh, and absent-minded dons, lovestruck Oxford students, boating the Thames, and the cat. To say nothing of the dog.

Sigh... I love that book. I laugh aloud every time I read it.
