Summary "Christopher and the Clockmakers" by Sara Ware Bassett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Christopher Mark Antony Burton, who navigates the complexities of childhood while exploring his father's jewelry business and developing an interest in clocks and their intricate histories. The novel encompasses themes of family legacy, identity, and the adventures that can arise in the ordinary moments of life. The opening of the book introduces Christopher, detailing the burdensome name bestowed upon him and his journey of self-discovery through his school years. After a bout of illness, Christopher finds himself partially sidelined from school and sports, leading him to explore his father's clock and jewelry store. The narrative captures the boy's internal conflict between the weight of family expectations and his desire for freedom, as well as his budding fascination with the craftsmanship of clocks. As he encounters various characters, including a clockmaker, the groundwork is laid for Christopher's impending adventures and growth, with hints at the excitement and challenges awaiting him in the bustling world of horology and commerce.
