Thurber, James Grover, 1894-1961.
Lanterns & Lances.
Publisher: N.Y., Harper & Brothers [1961]. xv, 215 p., illus. "Next to pleasure, which we have come to expect from James Thurber, reassurance is his principal gift to his readers... that somebody (Thurber) is still sane, and that he still cares enough about our world and certain of its works, notably our once sweet English tongue, to go on fighting for their slim chance of survival. Many of the pieces here, none of which has ever before appeared in book form, are concerned with exposing the frightful losses which our language has already suffered without anyone noticing." Dj clipped, a bit worn; top edge spotted; ink owner name; VG. Stock#24697.

Thurber, James, 1894-1961. [White, E. B.]
The Owl in the Attic and Other Perplexities.
Publisher: N.Y., Harper & Brothers, MCMXXXI [1931]. xvi, 151 p., illus., 21 cm. First edition, so stated. "With many drawings by the author." An Introduction by E. B. W. (E. B. White) is almost as nonsensical as the good fun Thurber has written (and drawn). He does have fun with Fowler, whomever or whichever that may be. (Thurber believed that whiches breed, which belief is the most absurd which I have ever heard.) Vg, yellow boards soiled/no dj. 101847 {Fifi}.

Thurber, James Grover, 1894-1961.
The Thurber Carnival. Written and Illustrated by James Thurber.
Publisher: N.Y., Harper & Bros. [1945; A wartime publication]. xiii, 369 p., illus.; 22.5 cm. Too many people have come to grief trying to define and analyze James Thurber's particular genius for us to dare to do more than say simply that this is a selection of his best writings and drawings, sifted from the whole of his work during the past fifteen years. However, we are quite willing to go on record as saying flatly that we doubt if any book published in 1945 will contain as much concentrated brilliance, wild humor, and innocent wisdom. Contents include Stories Not Collected Before in Book Form; from My World and Welcome to It; from Let Your Mind Alone; from The Middle-Aged Man on the Flying Trapeze; My Life and Hard Times, complete; from Fables for Our Time and Famous Poems Illustrated; from The Owl in the Attic; from The Seal in the Bedroom; from Men, Women and Dogs; The War Between Men and Women. Covers soiled/ no dj; good {ns}. Stock#24695.
