(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Leonid Gore. A remarkable fable about time and love is set long ago in Germany. Fritz, a local writer, tells the company gathered at the tavern a story about the magician and clockmaker Dr. Kalmenius. Pullman's Faustian tale, in which every small event is carefully related to another with the delicate precision of the finest clockwork, is deeply absorbing and aptly illustrated with evanescent ink drawings that complement the gothic atmosphere.
