Four & Twenty Marvelous Tales: Being One for Each Hour of the Day

By Howard Pyle and Katharine Pyle
A clock can mark more than minutes. In The Wonder Clock, each hour opens into a new fairy tale, with a short verse to set the mood before the story begins. This classic collection offers twenty-four marvelous tales, one for every hour of the day and night. Readers will find kings, queens, princesses, witches, ogres, clever students, strange birds, and magical troubles waiting behind each turn of the clock. The stories have an old-fashioned rhythm, with playful verses by Katharine Pyle and storytelling and illustrations by Howard Pyle. Best for children who enjoy fairy tales read aloud or strong readers ready for vintage language, this book feels like a richly decorated story cabinet: some tales are funny, some are eerie, and each has the charm of a timeworn folktale.
