Product Description
NOTE: This edition has a linked "Table of Contents" and has been beautifully formatted (searchable and interlinked) to work on your Amazon e-book reader.
A collection of eleven short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It includes one of his better-known short stories, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
The first story begins in 1860 with the birth of Benjamin Button. Benjamin Button is born with the body of a seventy-year-old man, and when his father first visits him mere hours after his birth he is already able to speak. He is born aging backwards (he was an old man as a baby and vice versa), causing several complications. This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain’s to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end.
Included in this volume:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Jelly-Bean
The Camel's Back
May Day
Porcelain and Pink
The Diamond as Big as the Ritz
Tarquin of Cheapside
"Oh Russet Witch"
The Lees of Happiness
Mr. Icky

 Great Story, Great Value December 28, 2008
A reader (Coconut Creek, FL USA)
This was a very touching short story. I love that there are other stories included and it is indexed so that you can get to each one quickly. You can't beat the price either!

Better to pay under one dollar here than 8 dollars elsewhere on this site. I bought it for the Be Button story but there are 10 others thrown in.
