Etat : FINE. First US printing. "After running for nearly 100 years, the Branton Town Hall Clock, the 'Wonder of the World,' has finally stopped, and the only person who can fix it is the grandson of the original clockmaker, who was never paid by the town. An old man himself, the grandson has been waiting all of his life for the chance to teach the town a lesson, but he quickly falls under the spell of his grandfather's clock and the task of getting it running. As he explains in a series of topical essays (on mice, clocks, people, cats, bells, science, and, finally, etcetera), the clockmaker discovers that just as his grandfather's clock is special and different, so are the mice families that live in the clock--the Hickorys, the Dickorys, and the Docks. .Frolicsome illustrations by Chichester-Clark decorate every page and demonstrate the workings of clocks and clock-mice telepathy." Slightly oversized format. 128 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.
