"An authentic American genius. . . . Mr. Thurber belongs in the
great lines of American humorists that includes Mark Twain and Ring
Lardner." --Philadelphia Inquirer James Thurber's unique ability to
convey the vagaries of life in a funny, witty, and often satirical
way earned him accolades as one of the finest humorists of the
twentieth century. A bestseller upon its initial publication in
1945, The Thurber Carnival captures the depth of his talent and the
breadth of his wit. The stories compiled here, almost all of which
first appeared in The New Yorker, are from his uproarious and
candid collection My World and Welcome to It--including the
American classic "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"--as well as from
The Owl in the Attic, The Seal in the Bathroom, Men, Women and
Dogs. Thurber's take on life, society, and human nature is timeless
and will continue to delight readers even as they recognize a bit
of themselves in his brilliant sketches.
