Fables for Our Time

<p><strong>These tiny stories in which a wide variety of animals show us humans how we really are are completely uproarious. --The Saturday Review of Literature </strong></p><p>James Thurber has been called one of our great American institutions' (Stanley Walker) and a magnificent satirist (<em>Boston Transcript</em>). The <em>New York Herald Tribune</em> submits that he is as blithe as Benchley...as savage as Swift...surprisingly wise and witty while the <em>Times</em> of London out of enthusiasm and a profound regard for truth proclaims that Thurber is Thurber.</p><p> In <em>Fables for Our Time</em> Thurber the Moralist is in the ascendancy.

The fables are imperishably illustrated and are supplemented by Mr. Thurber's own pictorial interpretations of famous poems in a wonderful and joyous assemblage.</p>
