So glad that someone on threads mentioned this 20 year old book. I loved it. I'll definitely be reading more in the series.

A magical story set in Venice, a magical Venice 500 years ago that the boy can travel to from London in the 20th century with a talisman, one that is similar to the real Venice but known by a different name. It's a YA book so there is an element of simplicity about it. It's a great story.
