She was warm in every wind and weather, but he was always cold. His hands were as cold as his smile and almost as cold as his heart. He wore gloves when he was asleep, and he wore gloves when he was awake, which made it difficult for him to pick up pins or coins or the kernels of nuts, or to tear the wings from nightingales.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e So begins James Thurber's sublimely revamped fairy tale, \u003ci\u003eThe 13 Clocks\u003c\/i\u003e, in which a wicked Duke who imagines he has killed time, and the Duke s beautiful niece, for whom time seems to have run out, both meet their match, courtesy of an enterprising and very handsome prince in disguise. Readers young and old will take pleasure in this tale of love forestalled but ultimately fulfilled, admiring its upstanding hero\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003e who yearned to find in a far land the maiden of his dreams, singing as he went and possibly slaying a dragon here and there \u003c\/i\u003e) and unapologetic villain (\u003ci\u003e We all have flaws, the Duke said. Mine is being wicked \u003c\/i\u003e), while wondering at the enigmatic Golux, the mysterious stranger whose unpredictable interventions speed the story to its necessarily happy end.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Kids","offers":[{"title":"13 Clocks | James Thurber | Paperback | 9781590179376 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1789378","offer_id":50931035865346,"sku":"1789378","price":24.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61YXduBk0eL.jpg?v=1793499015","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/13-clocks","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
