Clockwork is no exception. With its inspiration lying solidly in the German romantic tradition of E.T.A. Hoffmann and the Brothers Grimm, the story begins, as all good fairy tales do, with someone whose human weakness sets events inescapably in motion. As the townspeople of Glockenheim gather in the White Horse Tavern on the eve of the unveiling of a new figure for their great town clock, Karl, the clockmaker's apprentice, reveals to Fritz, a young storyteller, that he has not been able to construct the figure. A new clock figure is expected of all apprentices, and Karl is the first in hundreds of years to fail. Fritz, in his turn, has the beginnings of a new story to tell, and as it rolls off his tongue, its dark antagonist materializes and offers Karl his dearest wish. Not surprisingly, Karl's Faustian pact brings him destruction, but an innocent child is the deus ex machina that saves another child and the spirit of the town from seemingly ineluctable oblivion. With its eerie black-and-white illustrations by Leonid Gore and its happily-ever-after ending to some thrilling suspense, Clockwork is a fine fairy tale for younger children and a thought-provoking twist on the art of narrative for older ones. --Barrie Trinkle]]> 24774 17 3084097 1995 Clockwork (After Words) total:708|5:166|4:265|3:206|2:52|1:19| 708 2631 918 134 3618 3.95 168980 13038 50115969 189220 3824435 979223361X 9789792233612 10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1216613517m/3824435.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1216613517s/3824435.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3824435.Clockwork 3.82 33 1995 5 1 false Sun Mar 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 18:22:21 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 18:38:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 69429195 1519922 24774 043985623X 9780439856232 100 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167543711m/24774.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167543711s/24774.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24774.Clockwork 3.70 524 The Golden Compass, he continues to explore and stretch the limits of other children's and young adult genres.

Hoffmann and the Brothers Grimm, the story begins, as all good fairy tales do, with someone whose human weakness sets events inescapably in motion. As the townspeople of Glockenheim gather in the White Horse Tavern on the eve of the unveiling of a new figure for their great town clock, Karl, the clockmaker's apprentice, reveals to Fritz, a young storyteller, that he has not been able to construct the figure. A new clock figure is expected of all apprentices, and Karl is the first in hundreds of years to fail. Fritz, in his turn, has the beginnings of a new story to tell, and as it rolls off his tongue, its dark antagonist materializes and offers Karl his dearest wish. Not surprisingly, Karl's Faustian pact brings him destruction, but an innocent child is the deus ex machina that saves another child and the spirit of the town from seemingly ineluctable oblivion. With its eerie black-and-white illustrations by Leonid Gore and its happily-ever-after ending to some thrilling suspense, Clockwork is a fine fairy tale for younger children and a thought-provoking twist on the art of narrative for older ones. --Barrie Trinkle]]> 1995 3 0 false Sun Sep 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 05:58:53 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 06:22:17 -0700 2009 1 Doctor Kalmenius was an evil man that murdered people, and Gretle was in love.
