From the jacket:
How can anyone describe this book? It isn't a parable, a fairy story or a poem, but rather a mixture of all three. It is beautiful and it is comic. It is philosophical and it is cheery. What we suppose we are trying fumblingly to say is, in a word, that it is Thurber.
The illustrations are by Marc Simont (misspelled "Mark" on the title page -- this apparently means this is a first edition, first state, and therefore worth some bucks, so I'm making this PC).
