THE 13 CLOCKS

Author: James Thurber

Illustrator: Mark Simont

None of the thirteen clocks in the gloomy castle of the horrible Duke actually work because he is afraid of Now. Such is the setting for this droll fable from the wonderful wit of James Thurber. The text is perfectly enhanced by the art of Simont.

A nice copy of this classic!

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and not on distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. 

However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference.
