About this listen

F. Scott Fitzgerald created the novella The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as a short story, originally published in Collier's magazine in 1922.

It tells the tale of Benjamin, son of Roger Button, who was born as an old man and who, over the course of his life, miraculously ages backward. Beginning life as an octogenarian in his crib, Benjamin grows "older" while his body, conversely, appears younger and younger with each passing birthday. The story takes us through Benjamin's entire life: his difficult adolescence, his marriage, life as a soldier and father, and, ultimately, his inevitable descent into infanthood.

At once hilarious, frightening, and satiric, Fitzgerald's wonderful story has been adapted for both the stage and screen and is presented here in its original, unabridged format.

I liked this story and more so the narration so much that I subconsciously responded with 'enormously' to the very last line in the audiobook.. where a voice asks or says, rather rhetorically, that it hopes you had enjoyed the reading/story/whathaveyou.

My only grouse if I should call it that was that the story could have been more fleshed out.. could have been a tad bit longer..

Brilliant reading of a fabulous story
