The James Thurber Audio Collection : Fables and Selected Stories by 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

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
