James Thurber has been called "one of our great American institutions' (Stanley Walker), "a magnificent satirist (Boston Transcript), and "a Joyce in false-face" (New York Times). The New York Herald Tribune submits that he is "as blithe as Benchley...as savage as Swift...surprisingly wise and witty," while the Times of London, out of enthusiasm and a profound regard for truth, proclaims that "Thurber is Thurber." In Fables for Our Time, Thurber the Moralist is in the ascendancy. Here are a score or more lessons-in-prose dedicated to conventional sinners and proving--what you will. The fables are imperishably illustrated, and are supplemented by Mr. Thurber's own pictorial interpretations of famous poems in a wonderful and joyous assemblage.

A simple, inspiring story about solving problems from the bestselling author of A Stranger For Christmas. Robert is delighted when he successfully solves his first math problem at school—one plus one equals two. He thinks his work is done—but he’s about to learn that there are plenty more problems to solve… This inspiring, national bestselling fable brings us back to the world of homework assignments, classroom desks, and cafeteria food to remind us that grownups face problems every day and show how to solve them. You may no longer have to puzzle over what happens when two trains are approaching Cleveland, with one leaving at 1:00 P.M. and traveling at 50 mph…but perhaps you’re struggling with waking up fourteen days in a row wondering if it’s worth it to get out of bed, or why you feel like you’re giving 100% to a relationship and getting only 30% in return. Beautifully illustrated and told in the straightforward tradition of a classic fable, The Lesson is an uplifting tale that can help you rediscover the joy of finally finding the right answer.
