James Thurber
Lanterns and Lances.

, First Edition
Lanterns & Lances was the last of Thurber's books published before his death in 1961m and it is a splendid collection of his miniatures. It contains and eloquent denunciation of man-eating(or at least, Thurber feared, Thurber-eating) house cats. This as well as other miniatures in this collection is Thurber at his best.
