Upon completing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald declared it the funniest story ever written and one of my two favorite stories. It s the strange tale of a man who is born 70 years old and mysteriously ages in reverse. This stunning graphic novel adaptation illustrates Benjamin Button s many adventures: He falls in love, starts a family, and runs a successful business. In his later years, he goes to war and attends Harvard University. As an old man, he resembles a newborn baby and returns to the care of a nurse. Complete with Fitzgerald s original text, dazzling watercolor illustrations, and an afterword describing the story s origins and critical reception, this edition offers a fresh look at a literary masterpiece."
