Synopsis

About Time offers a delightful return to the world of time travel and light comedy that distinguished Jack Finney’s all-time classic Time and Again. The protagonists of these twelve stories are well-meaning but at odds with their surroundings and their lives. The time to which they escape—through time travel—doesn’t always fulfill their expectations in the way they had hoped, but sometimes, they can still find their dreams.

What can I say!! This is a huge favorite of mine. It's my go to when I can't settle on anything and when I need to escape the world.

Goodreads review by Tom on February 17, 2019

If you ask me, the best episodes of The Twilight Zone were the not-scary, not-creepy, quiet and mildly comical stories of old folks who traveled back a couple decades in time to relive their childhoods. This collection is like twelve of those wonderful episodes all in a row. They're quaint and quick......more

O Henry type short stories about time shifting. Some intriguing, some not but overall a nostalgic "Twilight Zone" trip back to the 1950's.......more

Goodreads review by Sally on September 16, 2018

Reading Jack Finney is like coming back to an old friend who has lots of great stories.

All the stories but one are about time travel or some other magical element, but each with its own unique twist. Impressive that the author could come up with so many different approaches.......more
