Summary

Having failed miserably while working for his uncle, Sam finds himself shipped off to America. He would much rather have been headed to Canada as he'd fallen in love with the picture of a women he'd found left behind in a remote cabin when he'd vacationed there. That is, until he sees another picture of her, in America, while visiting an old friend. He discovers his dream girl, Kay, is the niece of Matthew Wrenn who works for Mammoth Publishing Company. Sam takes a job with Mammoth Publishing Company and rents the house next door to the Wrenn's. From there he sets out to win Kay's affections. Throw in a mystery of a lost family treasure and a gang of thieves and you have the makings of a spirited romp! P. G. Wodehouse at his very best.

    Thomas Burke was born Sydney Thomas Burke on November 29th, 1886 in Eltham, London (at the time it was part of Kent). 
    An author in the early years of the 20th Century Burke brought his skills of pen and eye to parts of London, specifically the Limehouse district of the East End, to write with drive and vigour about the characters he met and the places that he knew.  Whether he turned that material into fiction or non-fiction the words seep quality.  His publications ranged from these wonderful vignettes of down-at-heel London to writings on homosexuality and the English Countryside. 
    Thomas Burke died in the Homeopathic Hospital in Queens Square, Bloomsbury on 22 September 1945.

    "He was a baby of some seventy years... and he was born in a crib."
    
    In 1860 Baltimore, the prominent Button family is scandalized when their newborn son arrives not as a soft-skinned infant, but as a seventy-year-old man with a long white beard and a stooped back. So begins the extraordinary life of Benjamin Button—a man destined to grow younger as the world grows older. Fitzgerald tracks Benjamin's reverse journey through the shifting landscape of American history, from the Civil War to the glittering Jazz Age, as he navigates the complexities of love, fatherhood, and a social order that has no place for a man out of time.
    
    A Masterpiece of Social Satire: While often remembered for its fantastical premise, Benjamin Button is a sharp-witted critique of the rigidity of high society. Fitzgerald uses Benjamin's condition to expose the absurdities of social expectations, fashion, and the obsession with "appropriate" behavior. It is a story where the tragedy lies not in the supernatural, but in the human inability to accept what is different.
    
    The Heartbreak of Out of Sync Love: The emotional core of the story is Benjamin's relationship with Hildegarde Moncrief. For a brief, shining moment, their ages meet in the middle, allowing for a fleeting period of conventional happiness. But as she ages into the autumn of her life, Benjamin continues his descent into the spring of his, leading to a poignant and inevitable separation that serves as a metaphor for the universal experience of growing apart.
    
    Witness a life lived against the clock. Purchase "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" today and experience Fitzgerald's most inventive tale.
