Reader's note

An attractive 1949 first edition of The Beast in Me and Other Animals by James Thurber! This is a collection of pieces and drawings about human beings and less alarming creatures. This is the best work that Thurber has ever done; the mixture of stories is more varied than ever. AMong the drawings we have Thurber's New Natural History, which includes such remarkable fauna and flora as the Hopeless Quandary, the Tiffin, the Male Wedlock and the Living Image. Then there isa a scholarly note on Extinct Animals of Bermuda, a pastiche of Henry James entitled 'The Beast in the Dingle', the story of the two wives who had both played Rosalind, a definitive study of Soapland, and much more!
