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.

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.
