About this book
Christopher Mark Antony Burton, the fourth of that name, is given a grand title at birth and happily becomes plain Chris Burton on his first day at school. Sara Ware Bassett's boys' story follows him through eighteen chapters of small adventures, including an encounter with the police and a letter with a sequel, and mixes them with chapters on the history of timekeeping: giant clocks, clocks at sea, the use of precious stones in watches, clocks in America and what Massachusetts contributed. The book is dedicated to three craftsmen, Richard Parsons, Simon Willard and John Bailey.
