Thurber Thursday: The Penguin UK Thurber Carnival

If you have an interest in James Thurber’s work you’re probably familiar with the Thurber Carnival cover shown to the left. Most used book stores with a “Humor” section have a copy, or have had a copy, or will have a copy at some point or another, Less familiar on this side of The Atlantic is the paperback UK version of the Carnival  shown above (front & back cover).

One might suppose it doesn’t matter what edition you have, or end up with (unless editions are your thing), as long as you have a copy in your library of cartoon books and/or written humor. But beware: the UK version shown here is abridged.
