Book Description

1948
Dust jacket notes: "Here is a new Thurber book with stories and pictures, pictures and stories alternating in the liveliest and most surprising fashion. It represents some of the best work Thurber has ever done - all of it appearing now for the first time in book form. There is the story of the two wives who had both played Rosalind; and the story of Jennie, the non-homing dog. There is a piece called 'The Dewey Dewey Fog'; a study of the Lady on the Bookcase and how she got there; 'The Beast in the Dingle,' a 'literary pastiche' on Henry James; studies in pictures and text of prehistoric animals of the Middle West and the extinct animals of Bermuda. In the New Natural History Series one comes across The Hopeless Quandary, A Gloat near a Patch of I-Told-You-So, a Garble with an Utter in its claws. A full year's concentrated study of the fascinating country of daytime radio serials resulted in Thurber's writing a definitive study of Soapland."
