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!
