About this copy
James Thurber's The Beast in Me and Other Animals, published by Hamish Hamilton Ltd., London, 1949. James Thurber was one of the great American humorists of the twentieth century, and his witty pieces and charming line drawings have delighted readers for generations. This collection brings together a new selection of his sketches and drawings about human beings and less alarming creatures, showing his gift for gentle absurdity at its very best.
This copy is a February 1949 reprint of the first British edition, issued in a pale green cloth binding with a black line drawing of two dogs to the front board. The spine is lettered in black with a Thurber drawing of a dog with a ball.
