Step through the doors of the Wonder Clock and enter a realm where Time himself is the guide. In this cherished collection, Howard Pyle presents twenty-four marvelous tales—one for every hour of the day—drawn from the deep wells of folk tradition and reimagined with his signature wit and charm. From the adventures of clever peasants outsmarting giants to the journeys of kings seeking lost treasures, each hour brings a new discovery and a fresh glimpse into a world of "once upon a time."
More than just a collection of stories, The Wonder Clock is a tapestry of imagination, weaving together whimsical verses by Katharine Pyle and Howard’s own world-renowned illustrations. These tales do not merely entertain; they cultivate a sense of wonder and a love for the noble and the true, making them a cornerstone of any child’s literary journey. It is an invitation to slow down, turn the key, and let the hours chime with the music of legendary storytelling.
The Wonder Clock is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle’s legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.

Howard Pyle was an American artist who paints, draws, and writes books, mostly for kids. He was born March 5, 1853, and died November 9, 1911. In the last year of his life, he lived in Florence, Italy. He was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He began teaching drawing at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Industry in 1894. This school is now called Drexel University. Violet Oakley, Maxfield Parrish, and Jessie Willcox Smith were pupils of his. He opened his own art and illustration school after 1900. It was called the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. After some time, scholar Henry C. Pitz used the name "Brandywine School" to refer to the illustration artists and Wyeth family artists who worked in the Brandywine area. Some of these artists had studied with Pyle. He shaped many artists who went on to become famous in their own right, including N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Thornton Oakley, Allen Tupper True, Stanley Arthurs, and many more. Bill Pyle and Margaret Churchman Painter had a boy named Pyle. He was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He went to special schools as a child and liked drawing and writing from a very young age.
