Publisher's Synopsis
Beloved actor and author Gene Wilder's newest novella beings on Christmas, 1944, in a foxhole in Bastogne, Belgium, where his innocent yet charmingly clever protagonist, Corporal Tom Cole, is injured. Wilder moves the action to a romantic wartime London with dimly lit blackout-compliant restaurants and mad dashes to the Tube station at the sound of the air raid sirens where Cole convalesces and falls in love for the first time.
