SOLVED. YA Fantasy book about a girl who visits her aunts old empty house and travels back through time. [s]

[Reader]

I read this book about 25 years ago. The front cover was a girl with brown hair peeking round a wooden door.

I think she was visiting her aunt for the summer and didn’t want to because the house was big and empty and had nothing for her to do. She notices the inside of the wardrobe in her room had names scratched in to it with years. I think one of the names may have been Kit.

She closes herself in the wardrobe and when she opens it she is transported back in time. The house is full of life, There’s a group of children and they all seem to know her. She spends her summer hanging out with them. I think there was a tree house and a ride in a wagon cart. She uses the wardrobe to transport back and forth in time and grows to love the house.

I think it may have been a one word title that began with R?

Possibly Robinsheugh by Eileen Dunlop?

[Reader]

Oooh that could possibly be the one I’m thinking of although I can’t find a copy that was printed with the front cover I remember. I’ve ordered a copy though off EBay and will update you once I’ve given it a read :)

Thank you :)

You're welcome! Fingers crossed!

If it's not that, I also thought of Jessamy. She travels back in time via a cupboard.
