THE THIRTEEN CLOCKS

In an amazing demonstration of oral acrobatics, Edward Woodward does so much more than bring an incredible story to life. This retelling of Thurber’s classic has it all: a good story, good pace, offbeat humor, lovable heroes, the darkest of villains and a lovely princess in distress. Add exquisite sound effects and Woodward’s lively reading, and the result is a big story in a small package. Often such sound effects can be distracting--this production is anything but. The listener freefalls into this cliff-hanger of a silly tale. An absolute must-listen for Thurber fans, fairy tale lovers, and audiobook aficionados.
