The Wonder Clock Or, Four and Twenty Marvelous Tales by Howard Pyle

3.0

24 short stories, much like fairy tales and folklore, and borrowing themes from mythology without precisely copying the plots - with a strong "Americana" flavoring from the late 19th century. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't more offensive material in here. There is some casual misogyny, one anti-Semitic reference, and I think Romani are referred to as "gypsies" at one point, but for the 1890s or so, it was pretty good. My kids enjoyed the stories, and we just had discussions to address the offensive stuff.
