Gather round kids, and I’ll read you a romantic, chilling tale of a cold, aggressive Duke and his niece, the Princess Saralinda. A traveling minstrel wants to marry Saralinda, but the Duke has set him on an impossible task. On hand to help those in peril, the Golux guides the minstrel, really a prince dressed in rags, in his task to gather the tear jewels of Hagga. Listen quickly - for the minstrel must achieve his task timely or be slit from guggle to zatch.
Intrigued? Written by James Thurber, illustrated by Marc Simont, and introduced by Neil Gaiman, The 13 Clocks was meant to be read out loud on a gloomy day when you are in need of a laugh. You might just bust in half.
