from NYR Children's Collection
Price: $8.40

Customer Review:
"The New York Review" has republished two of Thurber's joyous word play books, The Wonderful O (Childrens Collection) and The 13 Clocks (Childrens Collection). The reviews of both books on Amazon describe well the treasures here, and my descriptions won't add much value.
But, some of my nephews... more info

Customer Review:
This book was among 8-10 children's books I found at a thrift store, never having heard of it "but it looked kind of good, was in great condition and the pictures were interesting (Slobodkin illustrations)". For .69 I didn't even take the time to glance at what it was about. And WOW!, was I... more info

5.My Life and Hard Times (Perennial Classics)My Life and Hard Times (Perennial Classics)
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $4.99

Customer Review:
I first read this little anthology about 25 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed his portrayal of American life in the first half of the 20th Century. What makes Thurber so enjoyable is that his humor is timeless. His stories are lush and are filled with warmth. They call to a simpler time with mirth... more info

Customer Review:
The Thurber Carnival is an excellent collection of short fiction, essays and drawings by the late great master of American fiction. Included are such gems as the original Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

7.[no image]The Years with Ross
from Signet

Customer Review:
I grew up with James Thurber on the shelf, his cartoons peopled my imagination from my earliest years and as reading skill grew, his stories (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Life and Hard Times, etc.) comprised some of my first grown-up literature. Much later I discovered The New Yorker magazine,... more info

8.Fables for Our Time (Harper Colophon Books, Cn 999)Fables for Our Time (Harper Colophon Books, Cn/999)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $3.99

Customer Review:
I first read Thurber, Fables for Our Time being my first encounter, about the time I learned to read. Fables sounded suitable for a 7 year old looking for something more than the Bobbsey Twins, so I plunged into a surreal world of misogyny, mayhem, morality and madness, and thoroughly loved it!

A parody in classic vaudevillian style of the (then) newly emergent do-it-yourself psychology books.
