Four Days Wonder (novel)

Four Days Wonder is a 1933 comedy novel by the British writer A.A. Milne.[1] Jenny, the heroine of the story, is an 18 year old orphan, who spends her life daydreaming. Her mind is occupied with an imaginary conversation when she absent-mindedly walks into her old home, now let to a respectable, middle-aged couple. Jenny finds, on the floor, the body of her long-lost Aunt Jane, and suddenly realises that she is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
