A THURBER GARLAND

London: Hamish Hamilton, 1955. 1st Edition. Hardcover. In the preface, Thurber describes his garland as A "weedy bouquet" - 28 cartoons, published in London with no American edition. The nicest copy we have seen, almost as new, issued without dustjacket and housed, as issued, in a brown cardboard mailing box with illustrated address label pasted on top lid. Inscribed on the label by Helen Thurber "to Dodie and Merrill from the Thurbers". Inscribed by Thurber himself on the verso of the ffe with the thick black wax pencil he preferred to draw with, "The Prentices Jim Thurber". Dodie and Merrill Prentice were personal friends of the Thurbers and residents of Cornwall Connecticut, where the Thurbers had a country house. The only defect to the package is a small water ring to the label on the box. THE collectible copy. HUMOR ILLUSTRATED NEW YORKER. Fine. Item #012313
