A Funny Old Game

Who are the mysterious children who meet up periodically to play dazzling, almost magical football? Why do they never seem to age - and why do they turn up not only in different places but in different decades, sometimes different centuries? And who is the boy with the mysterious hawk-like eyes who wanders the ages without ever getting any older? This intriguing work of imagination follows the subtle link between a group of youngsters, a football and the passage of time.
