The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Penguin Active Reading Level 3 with Multi-ROM and MP3

Authors: F. Fitzgerald Publisher: Penguin Books Edition: 1 Publish Year: 2016 ISBN: 9781292121505 F. Scott Fitzgerald makes anti-bellum Baltimore his setting for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a fantastical tale with some Poe-like overtones about a baby born at age seventy who then lives life in reverse, his hair turning in the dozen years of his life from white to iron-gray, the network of wrinkles on his face becoming less pronounced. What ramifications that creates for Benjamin's relationship with his father first and then later with his wife and his own son makes for some fantastical situations.
