The Thurber Carnival – James Thurber

Description

The Thurber Carnival is a collection of witty stories, drawings, essays and cartoons by legendary American humourist, James Thurber. The compilation exhibits the plenitude of his skill and craft, and the brilliant wit that made his work uproarious. Containing gems such as ‘The Owl in the Attic’, ‘The Catbird Seat’, and the classic, ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’, this collection carries many stories that were first featured in The New Yorker.

A timeless classic, the collection goes on to reveal the genius of Thurber and the brilliance of his work and that thinking creatively about the seemingly normal can make space for humour and wit that help us look at our own world, a little differently.
