"The Man Who Grew Young" is a fantasy novel written by Daniel Quinn. The story follows the life of Harold James "Hank" Morgan, an advertising executive in his late fifties who is unhappy with his life. One day, he is knocked unconscious and wakes up as a fourteen-year-old boy in the year 1891. As he continues to grow younger every day, he becomes caught up in the events of the late nineteenth century, including the labor movement, the Spanish-American War, and the invention of the telephone.
As Hank grows younger and more naive, he becomes more idealistic and begins to question the values of his own time. He falls in love with a young woman named Edith, but is tormented by the knowledge that he will eventually become a child and lose her.
The novel explores themes of aging, nostalgia, progress, and the meaning of life. It has been compared to Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
