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 12 stories are well-meaning but at odds with their surroundings and their lives. The time to which they escape-through time travel-doesn't fulfill their expectations in the way they had hoped, but sometimes they find their dreams.

I have read this book twice - so far. Some truly charming stories that, as was the case in the novel "Time and Again", encourage one to see the past with new eyes. I can honestly say that my perception of the past (and, consequently, the present) has been enriched by these stories. I especially loved the stories of the house that received a second chance, and of the car vintage car that gives its riders a second chance. I have recommended this book to many of my friends.

Jack Finney's short stories on time and the characters that occupy it are a fascinating pleasure. Savor each one as the gift that it is, and take the journey through time. I couldn't put it down - and think of it often.

Do not adjust your set...sit back and enjoy 12 of the best. For all fans of scifi/time travel/twilight zone etc..Jack Finney does it so well and with a sense of homour!
While reading these (back to back),not able to put it down it reminded me of the better stories from TZ. They could have been longer and I didin't want them to finish. Very much like his Time & Again..I wanted it to go on forever!
