Wow, that's brilliant! So like and so unlike The Thurber Carnival. I really want to read it, now. :)

Oh, do! There's an interesting article here here about the book, and a bit about Thurber in general. Incidentally, I don't know The Thurber Carnival. The only other Thurber I've read is Thurber's Dogs, a longtime staple of my family's bookshelf, and not really anything like The 13 Clocks.

The 13 Clocks looks amazing. I've never read any of his children's literature before, though the article suggests that readers only tend to know one branch of Thurber's work! It does sound like it has has usual madness though. The Thurber Carnival is I think a collection of his journalism; it's stories and cartoons mostly about his own family, which are VERY VERY funny, possibly make me laugh more than anything else.
