Tales in Time

Tales in Time is an anthology of science fiction short stories about time (though not necessarily, as is usual in the genre, time travel), edited by Peter Crowther. It was first published as a trade paperback by White Wolf Publishing in April 1997.^[1] It was issued as a companion to Three in Time from the same publisher; the two books were followed up by a similar pair, Three in Space and Tales in Space, published in 1998.

The book collects thirteen tales by various authors on the subject of time (though not necessarily, as is usual in the genre, time travel), together with a foreword by the editor and an essay by genre critic John Clute.
