Everyone in the world knows about the most famous nursery rhyme ever told-that's right, Hickory Dickery Dock and the mouse that ran up the clock. But wait! Did you know that the mouse that ran up the clock was named Terrance, that Hickory and Dickery were twin brothers, or that Dock was the most famous clockmaker in all of London? Well, if the answer is no, then you mustn't know about England's greedy king, or why the Hickory Dickery Dock clock ended up in Beijing, China, and created the world's longest unsolved mystery. Come, join Morris and his friend Fenton on a luxury liner out of San Francisco's bay, travel with them to Beijing's hall of clocks, and be amazed at how they befuddle China's secret police, and at the same time solve a two-hundred-year-old mystery by having the clock returned, but not to England, no, to the John Paul Getty museum in Los Angeles, California.
