About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Romance of an Old Fool, by Roswell Field. Read by Roger Melin. A light-hearted account of a successful middle aged widower who chances to visit the small town in which he grew up to renew old acquaintances and perhaps reflect on his successes since his departure. This visit, however, becomes far more to him than he would have imagined, as he finds that one of his dearest childhood girlfriends had died not long after his departure, and the widower envisions a relationship with none other than her daughter, who he senses to be her mother incarnate. (Summary by Roger Melin)
