alternate cover for ISBN 0140017690 ‘It was a Sunday when I got back to my house in the country. I turned on the Magnavox, keeping herlow, and pressed a station button at random. “Today,” said a voice, “is the birthday of Bob Hope, Beatrice Lillie, Patrick Henry, and King Charles II of England.” Yes, I was back home all right.’ Back home in the Thurber Country there are Thurberisms galore. Who but Thurber could describe ‘Miss Menta, the disturbingly nude Chilean transcendentalist’, or ‘the Curious Adventure of the Oral Surgeon’s Mouse’, or ‘some dogs other than the carnivorous mammal’? As for the drawings, they throw more light on that peculiar creature, Homo Americansis. What more need — or could — be said? Contents: 1. What's so Funny? 2. The Figgerin' of Aunt Wilma S.
