About this listen

James Thurber is a masterful writer, humorist, and creator of enduring characters: Walter Mitty and the Lemming, included herein, have a permanent place in our culture. These 22 complete stories from Part I of My World (first published in 1942) reveal the full range of Thurber's genius, from his fanciful analysis of Shakespeare's Macbeth to his playful rendition of marital conflict and ultimately, his serious consideration of murders unsolved. His final memorial tribute to his dog fits the spirit of a light life, well-lived.

Classic text, wonderful interpretation!

I have always been a fan of James Thurber’s writing, so was delighted to find this audiobook. John Cullum (of Northern Exposure fame) was a welcome surprise as narrator, and retold the stories, letters, and miscellany wonderfully. Definitely one to listen to again on another snowy afternoon.
