The nineteenth century. The Industrial Revolution is transforming the world. Towns are abandoning their silence, giving themselves over to bustle, to hurried activity, and to the new creations that rise each day. The town of Ox, in Stent - known for its unshaken tranquillity, the absence of incident, and the serenity of its people - receives, one day, the arrival of a character whose astonishing knowledge will at once become the most important matter of the place.
The Three Extraordinary Creations of Klant Woss is a book written in keeping with the values and ideals of the distant, elegant writing of centuries past - built upon a refined and long-laboured prose, evocative of the narrative style of that age, and ever in pursuit of the creation of an ideal of expression.
