The Clockmaker of Mullen

"A great story and perfect gift for children, parents, and grandparents of all ages."

Above his tiny apartment, in a tower higher than any other building in Mullen, stood the town clock.	Mothers fearfully shook out the bed covers each night before tucking their children in to sleep.	With a lantern in his hand, he climbed the narrow, winding stairs to the tower above.	He turned a corner and came upon the milkman's horse and wagon, standing still like statues in a park.
At first he smiled as he lifted them by their tails and dropped them into his sack	Then he saw something in the shadows below the bridge.	The clock was completely silent and still, and, tired as he was, it took all his strength to start it.	Their joyful faces filled him with contentment, and he smiled and waved to them while he sipped his tea.
