This collection brings together the best of James Thurber's brilliantly funny, eccentric and anarchic writings. It includes his most famour work, The Secret life of Walter Mitty, in which an ordinary man's fantasies have a lire powerful hold on him than a reality, as well as an essays, poetry and cartoons gathered from all of Thurber's collections. Making fun of his own weaknesses and those of other people (and dogs) - the English teacher who looked only at figures of speech, the Airedale who refused to include him in the family, the botany lecturer who despaired of him totally - James Thurber is a true original, whose off-beat imagination shows us everyday life from a different angles.
