<p>This has proved one of the most popular books on clocks - equally suitable for beginners and knowledgeable collectors. It has in the course of several printings established itself as a standard work of reference. It provides an authoritative survey of the whole field of clockmaking from the earliest times. The author did much research into the lives of the more famous seventeenth and eighteenth century clockmakers, and this provides the background to fresh discoveries on escapements and equation work.</p>

Old clocks (Practical handbooks for collectors)

Herbert Alan Lloyd

Ernest Benn

A little girl is transported with the help of magic glasses from the tedium of a summer afternoon into an exciting world of mangrove swamps, spluttering volcanoes and sea where birds fly upside down and wild things threaten to pounce. But she is not alone. Old friends from Moomin Valley - Hemulen, Sniff, Snufkin, Thingummy & Bob - have joined her on the journey, and Moomin too, who rides to their rescue in a stripey balloon.  This brand new version of a 'lost classic' pairs Jansson's irresistible artwork with a playful rhyming text by one of Britain's star poets.
