Read by Grover Gardner

This collection of the author's best short, fantastic stories includes: The curious case of Benjamin Button, a surreal story about a man who is born as a feeble old man, and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby at the end of his life. Fitzgerald's preoccupation with moneyed society takes on a fantastical form, in The Diamond as big as the Ritz, in a playful yet sinister fairy tale about a family so wealthy they are entirely above the law. In Tarquin of Cheapside a mysterious and distraught man, being pursued in the night, begs the help of an obsessed bookworm, and finally in O Russet Witch!, a comtemporary Merlin is torn between the duty and responsibility of work, financial, and family pressures, and the beautiful woman who represents his every inner wish for a spontaneous, carefree life.
