Publisher's Synopsis
Young Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II's adventure happens inside of Prague's astrological clock. Together with a band of five other harlequin dressed youngsters, he experiences a city filled with wizards, enchanters, witches, conjurers, and evil gargoyles. The youngsters seek clues in order to reach the mysterious Hradcany Castle and become Wizard Apprentices. They are guided on their quest by The Orloj, the old clock, as well as Buggie and Thumpee, his sons. Through the wicked streets of Prague, the six harlequins must find six statues representing each of the human virtues of Generosity, Humility, Compassion and the human flaws of Pride, Envy, and Avarice. Only after they successfully learn them, they earn clues to reach the castle. The Orloj is a magical tale filled with non-stop action and thrills as well as timeless wisdom through nine timeless fables and poems.
