About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Tick, tock, tick, tock! Some stories are like that. Once you've wend them up, nothing will stop them ...

A tormented apprentice clock-maker, a deadly mechanical knight in armour - and the sinister Dr Kalmenius, who some say is the devil ... Wind up these characters, fit them into a story on a cold winter's evening, with the snow swirling down, and suddenly life and the story begin to merge in a peculiarly macabre - and unstoppable - way.

Almost like clockwork ...

© Philip Pullman 1996 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Beautiful tales with many hidden moral stories about love and dedication. Phillip Pullman masterfully intertwined two stories into each others snd bring them together at the end. It was a joy to listen to.
