Talk:The 13 Clocks

Untitled
On rereading this sentence -- "It is a fantasy tale -- written with a unique style of banter — in which a mysterious prince must complete a seemingly impossible task..." -- I decided that "banter" didn't quite cut it; there's not much of what I think of as banter, in the sense of Thurber acknowledging the existence of his readers, and lobbing things at them directly. James Barrie or Douglas Adams might do that on occasion; Thurber is more subtle -- obviously the references (e.g., to the "wandering minstrel" song in The Mikado), alliteration, puns and wordplay are directed at the reader, in some sense, but direct attention is never called to these literary tricks. -- Dave Greene 18:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
