<b>A comprehensive collection of the American humorist’s best work—including “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”—plus original drawings and a chronology of Thurber’s own troubled life</b><br> <br> James Thurber, whimsical fantasist and deadpan chronicler of everyday absurdities, brought American humor into the 20th century. His comic persona, a modern city-dweller whose zaniest flights of free association are tinged with anxiety, remains hilarious, subtly disturbing, and instantly recognizable. <br> <br> Here, in over 1,000 pages, editor Garrison Keillor presents the best and most extensive collection ever assembled. Pieces include “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and “The Catbird Seat,” the brilliantly satirical <i>Fables for Our Time</i>, the classic <i>My Life and Hard Times</i>, and the best of <i>The Owl in the Attic</i>, <i>Let Your Mind Alone!</i>, <i>My World—And Welcome to It</i
