F. Scott Fitzgerald makes antebellum Baltimore his setting for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a fantastical tale with some Poe-like overtones about a baby born at age 70 who then lives life in reverse, his hair turning "in the dozen years of his life from white to iron-gray, the network of wrinkles on his face becoming less pronounced". What ramifications that creates for Benjamin's relationship with his father first and then later with his wife and his own son makes for some fantastical situations.

Simplicity of a very peculiar story. The story when published in 1942 must have brought in lot of curious attention. The book justified the interest then, the book justifes the acclaimed name even today. Beautiful story, written in simple fluidic way. Narration by the narrator is good.
