About This Item
Garden City: Blue Ribbon Books 1946. (Hardcover) 226pp. Very good plus in very good dust jacket. Top edge stained red, illustrations. The dust jacket is lightly worn and has a small chip to the bottom corner of the front panel. "Thurber is Thurber and there is none other. There is a sort of unearthly quality to his writing and his drawing that has captured the imagination of the American people and held it. For who can read 'The Private Life of Mr. Bidwell' or 'A Preface to Dogs' without realizing that things are not what they seem - or, for that matter, what they actually are?". Illustrations by James Thurber. (Humor, Short Stories).
