James Thurber
The 13 Clocks
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1950.
Second printing.
Jacket is unusually well-preserved, with slight edge wear to spine ends, otherwise excellent.
One of Thurber's most popular works, a weird parody of a fairy story, in which a cold-hearted Duke pits his wits against a handsome Prince.
Thurber manages to re-vitalize the genre, adding an air of ghastly menace to the story of true love, in a castle where time has stopped.
Hardcover with jacket.
