Los 13 relojes es una encantadora fábula para adultos y un cuento fantástico para niños, escrita con un estilo poético y cadencioso, repleto de rimas internas. La historia narra las aventuras en el Castillo del Ataúd, donde el malvado duque vive con su sobrina, la bella Saralinda, y los trece relojes están parados porque el duque mató el Tiempo. La llegada de un misterioso trovador llamado Xingu, junto con el voluble Gólux, cambiará el destino del castillo. Juntos, intentarán superar la prueba impuesta por el duque: conseguir mil piedras preciosas en noventa y nueve horas y regresar cuando los relojes marquen las cinco. Este relato de 1950 destila ternura e ironía, creando un mundo mágico con personajes inolvidables, evocando cuentos de los hermanos Grimm, fábulas de La Fontaine y la saga de Tolkien.
