Hardback. Condition: New. Once there was a very fine clock named Ticky, who lived with Professor Horace John Morris and kept perfect time. Each night, at fourteen minutes past ten, his time was used to set the rest of the clocks in the house. When the professor's friends suggest that Ticky be made a professor, too, he explains what really happens during the quiet hours of the day when the professor is out, when all the rooms have been cleaned and dusted, and the clocks talk to one another and tell the stories of their lives. No artist is better suited to capture Ticky's quiet stateliness and grace than Edward Gorey, who brings this tale masterfully to life through his characteristic pen and ink drawings. Full of wit, wisdom, and affairs of the heart, The Very Fine Clock is a very fine picture book. Gorey, Edward (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. The jacket is creased, shelf stained, chipped at the edges with a biro squiggle across the clock.

The verso of the front end paper carries a small stain and minor foxing as does the following page. The jacket is not pretty, but apart from described faults, the body of the book is in very good condition, clean, unmarked and solid. Oblong format, every second page is an illustration, unpaged.
