The Thurber Carnival (perennial Classics) [Paperback]

James Thurber was one of the finest humorists of the twentieth century (and a crack cartoonist to boot). A bestseller upon its initial publication in 1945,The Thurber Carnivalcaptures the depth of his talent and the breadth of his wit. The stories compiled here, almost all of which first appeared inThe New Yorker, are from his uproarious and candid collectionMy World and Welcome to It—including the American classic "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"—as well as fromThe Owl in the Attic,The Seal in the Bathroom, andMen, Women and Dogs.
