The Very Fine Clock

Once there was a very fine clock named Ticky, who lived with Professor Horace John Morris and who kept perfect time. In fact, he was the most reliable of all the professor's friends. He was more than that--he was also very wise. Muriel Spark has given us a charming, gentle tale. Combined with Edward Gorey's sharp and witty pen drawings, THE VERY FINE CLOCK is a VERY FINE picture book.
