Henry Farrell 1 hr 29 min read

As the sidewalk splits beneath his feet and hurls him against the Regent Building, prim Marc Pillsworth manages only a depleted 'damn', the impossible opening of another mad Toffee adventure.

Henry Farrell's 1947 story is a zany fantasy and social-SF comedy. Fun, madcap golden-age SF. Read it for another screwball romp with the mischievous, invisible sprite Toffee, where reality itself comes apart around a hapless everyman, in a fast, funny golden-age farce of impossible happenings and respectability turned gleefully upside down.
