F. Anstey’s Vice Versa (1882) invented the body-swap comedy and has never been bettered at it: a pompous, self-satisfied Victorian businessman carelessly wishes he could be a schoolboy again — and the wish is instantly granted, stranding him in his son’s school while his son enjoys all the privileges of adult life with cheerful and imaginative abandon.
The comic possibilities are brilliantly and ruthlessly exploited at every turn. A genuine classic of English comic fiction, Vice Versa is as funny today as it was in 1882. Download this free EPUB and be exceedingly careful about what you wish for next time.
