About this listen

Unique to this title is:

  • A Historical Introduction
  • An Overview
  • An Analysis of The Main Characters

You may of course skip all of it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.

Edwin Vincent Odle was born in 1890. Not much is known about his life except that he was a playwright, critic, and short-story author. During the 1910s, Odle lived in Bloomsbury, London. From 1925 - 1935 Odle was an editor of the British short-story magazine The Argosy. His brother, Alan, was a well-known illustrator.

The story of The Clockwork Man takes place in 1920 when a strange man appears during a village cricket match. As one of the teams is a player short, the captain of the team recruits the stranger as a substitute for the missing man. The man looks very unusual. “His arms revolved like sails of a windmill. His legs shot out in all directions. He wore a very unusual red wig, over which he wore a brown bowler hat. His face
was crimson and flabby. His ears flapped.”

Where the clockwork man comes from, every single person has a clock installed in his brain. The clock keeps people going on forever, so there is no need for children and relationships.

Enjoy this timeless classic!

Having trouble getting in to it

Think I’ve got too used to Audiobooks read by Nigel Planer, Stephen Fry and Phil Gigante, the reader of this is not grabbing my attention but will stick with it
