From AudioFile

In an amazing demonstration of oral acrobatics, Edward Woodward does so much more than bring an incredible story to life. This retelling of Thurber's classic has it all: a good story, good pace, offbeat humor, lovable heroes, the darkest of villains and a lovely princess in distress. Add exquisite sound effects and Woodward's lively reading, and the result is a big story in a small package. Often such sound effects can be distracting--this production is anything but. The listener freefalls into this cliff-hanger of a silly tale. An absolute must-listen for Thurber fans, fairy tale lovers, and audiobook aficionados.

Product Description

How can anyone describe this book? It isn't a parable, a fairy story or a poem, but rather a mixture of all three. It is beautiful and it is comic. It is philosophical and it is cheery. What we suppose we are trying fumblingly to say is, in a word, that it is Thurber.



There are only a few reasons why everybody has always wanted to read this kind of story, but they are basic:



Everybody has always wanted to love a Princess.



Everybody has always wanted to be a Prince.



Everybody has always wanted the wicked Duke to be punished.



Everybody has always wanted to live happily ever after.



Too little of this kind of thing is going on in the world today. But all of it is going on valorously in The 13 Clocks.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Puzzling, Avril 7 2004
Par C. L Wilson (Elmhurst, Illinois United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
There is so much darkness in it, even with Thurber's quixotic humor. While I liked it, I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to mean, but I do think it is supposed to mean something. It contains goodness and cruelty, romanticism and sinister characters. I think it may be a parable, but to what end? I liked his take on the matter of time, and I love Thurber's writing. My copy has wonderful illustrations.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Xorn of Xorna!! HOORAY for the 13 Clocks!, Mars 27 2001
Par Sidhe (Virginia, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: 13 Clocks (Hardcover)
I first heard this enchantingly wonderful book on cassette tape when i was at art lessons. I would wait impatiently till the next week so I could hear more~ more about the Golux (who resembles only half the things he says he doesn't!) and about Princess Saralinda and the Prince whose name begins with X... and doesn't! This book is full of whimsical wonderful wordplay and contains almost all of my favorite quotes of all time. It isn't very long, but every sentence is filled with some little quips or verbal oddities that, quite literally, made me smile and laugh while reading (a funny sight XD). This book is without question one of my favorites of all time~ a truly wonderful tale that can be read over and over again without ever growing old. Truly classique. I mean, the book that's given me my tagline HAS to be great: "We all have flaws and mine is being evil."

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great Book, Nov. 3 2000
Par "chimmy10" (SJC, Indiana) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This is a story that is so simple, yet incredibly complex. You don't quite now whats going on unless you think about it. It's a doorway to discover all kinds of interesting about yourself and life. This is just an all-around great book.
