Description
"These tiny
stories, in which a wide variety of animals show us humans how we really are,
are completely uproarious." --The Saturday Review of Literature
James Thurber has been called "one of our great
American institutions' (Stanley Walker) and "a magnificent satirist"
(Boston Transcript). The New York Herald Tribune submits that he
is "as blithe as Benchley...as savage as Swift...surprisingly wise and
witty," while the Times of London,
out of enthusiasm and a profound regard for truth, proclaims that "Thurber
is Thurber."
In Fables for Our
Time, Thurber the Moralist is in the ascendancy. Here are a score or more
lessons-in-prose dedicated to conventional sinners and proving--what you will.
The fables are imperishably illustrated, and are supplemented by Mr. Thurber's
own pictorial interpretations of famous poems in a wonderful and joyous
assemblage.
