The Wonder Clock<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Howard Pyle<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>“Four and twenty marvellous tales, one for each hour of the day,” retold in a novel and entertaining manner by a master of the form. While drawing on German, English, and Scandinavian folk literature for many of his characters and plots, Pyle reworks the material in an imaginative way, crafting the tales in his own inimitable style. Equally engaging are the numerous woodcuts that accompany the stories and enliven the narrative.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
