About the Author:

Michael J. Rosen was among those involved in the very first days of Thurber House and he continued to serve as its literary director for twenty years. Michael is the author of some 150 other books--poetry, young-adult novels, anthologies, picture books, cookbooks--for readers of all ages. Most recently, he has published James Thurber's Collected Fables, as well as a hefty monograph, A Mile and a Half of Lines: The Art of James Thurber, that coincides with an exhibition at the Columbus Museum of Art that he's curated in honor of the Year of Thurber (2019). He's also an editor, ceramic artist, illustrator, and companion animal to a cattle dog named Chant.
