James Thurber

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
