James Thurber has been called 'one of our great American institutions' (Stanley Walker), 'a magnificent satirist (Boston Transcript), and 'a Joyce in false-face' (New York Times). The New York Herald Tribune submits that he is 'as blithe as Benchley…as savage as Swift…surprisingly wise and witty, ' while the Times of London, out of enthusiasm and a profound regard for truth, proclaims that 'Thurber is Thurber. ' In Fables for Our Time, Thurber the Moralist is in the ascendancy. Here are a score or more lessons-in-prose dedicated to conventional sinners and proving--what you will. The fables are imperishably illustrated, and are supplemented by Mr. Thurber's own pictorial interpretations of famous poems in a wonderful and joyous assemblage.
