Description

When Roger Button goes to the maternity hospital to meet his new baby son, he gets an enormous shock. His “baby” is an old man! How is this possible? As time passes, “Baby” Benjamin grows older in years, but younger in appearance. At 20, he’s ready for college, but looks around 50. At 35, he looks his age and is finally happy. But poor Benjamin can’t stop the passage of time, or stop ageing backwards. Soon, he and his son look the same age. As his son graduates from school to university, Benjamin goes back to school, and finally to kindergarten. How will this curious story end?
