Collected here are some of the most brilliantly humorous and witty stories James Thurber ever wrote — and none is more beloved than the title piece. Walter Mitty is, on the face of it, an ordinary man living an ordinary life: weary, put-upon, unremarkable. Yet beneath that surface he inhabits a world of vivid, extraordinary daydreams, where the life he leads is one of excitement and adventure and he is, at last, the hero of his own story. A man can dream, can’t he? The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has endured as one of literature’s most quietly subversive comedies, and in the company of Thurber’s other sharp and playful tales it finds its perfect setting.
