Summary: Wonderful Book by a Wonderful (but sexist) Author
Comment: James Thurber has long been one of my favorite writers, but in order to enjoy him you have to look past his sexism. He includes anti-woman sentiments in nearly every book he's ever written... But please don't let this stop you from reading him. If you can get to the point where you just shake your head and think to yourself, "Oh, James, James, James... You misguided man"... Then you can fully enjoy his works.
This collection of fables is dated, I have to admit, but they're still highly entertaining and quite funny. Thurber has a way with words that is unique and entertaining.
Thurber is one of my favorite authors. His writing takes you back into his era without feeling dusty and passe.

Summary: "early to rise and early to bed...
Comment: ...makes a man healthy, wealthy and dead."
Quoting one of the fables; I remember reading this book thirty years ago. It is superb. The pictures are excellent too. I can still recall the man leaping down into the lion's pit to get the lady's glove, also the pictures of birds (shrikes, I think). I'll buy this one right away, my daughter will love it.
