5.0 out of 5 stars the adult fairy tale, 11 Aug 2002
This review is from: The 13 Clocks (Library Binding)
James Thurber is a master of words, that is a fact. But in this tale he becomes an enchanting story teller. it is a fairy tale about an evil duke, a beatiful princess and a daring knight who is in love with her. Yes, the story line is common. What is exceptional is the way this story unfolds with unexpected twists and turns, with humor and sarcasm with delicacy and an amazing child like view of the word. Thurber plays beautifully with words, logic and magic.
No matter how old you are, you will be enchanted

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have ever read,, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
the plot is, well, it's a good plot. However, it's not the plot that reaches out and grabs you in. It's the characters (especially the golux and his unique way of looking at the world) but more it's the words that are almost poetry and are written in a way that makes you wonder what worlds could be around you if you just opened up your eyes.
