Those who cherish The Princess Bride are sure to treasure James Thurber's poetic and fabled fairy tale The 13 Clocks. It's comical and beautiful...it's philosophical and cheery...it's whimsical and lyrical...and it's got a princess, a prince, a wicked Duke and a cold dark castle. Children will adore it and adults will revel in its sophisticated humor...it's simply Thurber at his best.
