Subject: RE: BS: books that jump worlds/eras?
T H White's, "The Once and Future King" has Wart (the Young Arthur) transformed into anthropomorphised animal societies.
There are several time jump stories in Rosemary Sutcliffe's books.
The Planets series of adult novels by CS Lewis (adult as in mature, not pornographic) "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra" and "That Hideous Strength" involve journeys to other worlds, as well as some mystical/religious ideas that come a lot closer to Cabbalistic ideas than to the conventional C of E doctrines you would expect.
Neville Shute uses the idea at least twice- Once a flashback to Viking Times, once a reincarnation memory of a life to come by a drunken rancher 'remembering' a future life as a pilot.
There are lots more, which i shall no doubt remember as soon as I have finished typing,
Cheers
