Collected fables and short stories from literary legend and iconic American humorist James Thurber, performed by Keith Olbermann

""James Thurber was a comedic genius. His fables are not simply parodies of Aesop. They are wry, accurate, and powerful reflections of ourselves, our foibles, our follies, and, above all, our self-importance. And they are very, very funny."" — Neil Gaiman

Stories in the collection include:

• There’s No Place Like Home • The Bear Who Let It Alone • The Greatest Man in the World • The Night the Ghost Got In • I Went to Sullivant • The Unicorn in the Garden • How to Relax While Broadcasting • The Tortoise and the Hare • A Box to Hide In • The Owl Who Was God • The Secret Life of Walter Mitty • If Grant Had Been Drinking at Appomattox • The Moth and the Star • The Dog That Bit People • The Topaz Cufflinks Mystery • The Little Girl and the Wolf • The Macbeth Murder Mystery • The Rabbits Who Caused All the Trouble • The Night the Bed Fell • Sex Ex Machina • The Scotty Who Knew Too Much • The Car We Had to Push • The Peacelike Mongoose
