AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Lively tale of an 50 year-old English businessman and his 25 year-old wife of whom he is increasingly jealous. He makes a wish one Christmas to grow younger every day - and does so until she is 60 and he a boy obsessively compelled to play marbles etc. Predictable 'dream' awakening conclusion - but descriptions of conflict between mature man's wisdom and boy's desires are very amusing.
