"Tourmaline Time Checks" by F. Anstey is a fascinating literary canvas that tells the story of Charles Tourmaline, who could not manage his financial life. Money problems force the main character to seek help from an unusual banker who issues "checks on time".

The reader has to reveal all the secrets of this magical world together with the hero and decide whether it is always worth staying in the past, if it seems that everything is easier there. "Tourmaline Time Checks" is an excellent work for those who like fantastic adventures and mysteries that stretch the boundaries of time and space.
