The 13 Clocks: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

A giant of American humor makes his Penguin Classics debut with â€œprobably the best book in the worldâ€ (Neil Gaiman, from the Introduction), in a stunning Deluxe Edition featuring the original, full-color illustrations
Â
The hands of all thirteen clocks stand still in the gloomy castle on a lonely hill where a wicked Duke lives with his niece, the beautiful Princess Saralinda. The Duke fancies he has frozen time, for he is afraid that one day a Prince may come and win away the hand of the Princessâ€”the only warm hand in the castle. To thwart that fate, he sets impossible tasks for Saralindaâ€™s suitors. But when the bold Prince Zorn of Zorna arrives, disguised as a wandering minstrel, and helped by the enigmatic Golux, the cold Duke may at last have met his match.

Since it was first published in 1950, James Thurberâ€™s sublimely whimsical fairy tale of love forestalled but ultimately fulfilled has delighted readers of all ages. It is published here with Marc Simontâ€™s enchanting, full-color illustrations from the first edition.
