"The dead man lay just as young Abie had seen him. The face, the moustache, the wavy hair, the blood. Everything."
The trouble with Harry is that he is dead. Who knew a dead body could be the source of so many romantic entanglements? The film version of this story is one of my favourites and I've watched it so many times, so I was keen to investigate the source.
Surprisingly the adaptation is almost an exact reflection of the book and perhaps that is a testament to how delightfully it is written. Mind you, it is so hard for me to not imagine the characters from the film while reading the book. The young Jerry Mathers ( TV's the Beaver) as the adorable young Abie is particularly hard to forget.
Enjoy this cute short story for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
5 out of 5 get ready for lots of digging.
