First collection since 1932 of Thurber classics from The New Yorker — strange, sometimes awful humans and highly individual animals which constitute an easily recognised Thurber type. Excellent selection, for the perfect combination of drawing and caption, for presentation of Thurber's preoccupation with male and female antagonisms, psyches, social gestures, and his creation of extremely appealing dogs. For his fans and for others who are interested in a fresh type of intelligent, amusing commentary.
