THE TWENTIETH CENTURY’S most popular American humorist, JAMES THURBER (1894–1961) authored nearly two dozen collections of drawings, essays, stories, fables, and biographical works—much of which he published as a founding voice of The New Yorker magazine. Along with a shelf of classic children’s books, a gem-like autobiography, My Life and Hard Times, and two Broadway productions, Thurber created spontaneous, unstudied drawings that profoundly changed the character of cartooning and expanded the very possibilities of an illustrated line.
