New York: Harper, 1957. A fine copy, square and tight, in quarter-backed yellow cloth and gray boards in a fine pictorial dustwrapper. One of America's favorite humorists, Thurber produced in this volume a marvelous collection of short stories and essays, some funny, others serious--such as his observations on the Loch Ness Monster and "My Own Ten Rules for a Happy Marriage." The last 70 pages of the book contain some of his most memorable drawings and cartoons. A great representation of the New Yorker author and artist. Seller Inventory # 009507
