The resulting offspring of this union are captivating, full-color illustrated editions of timeless classics that readers will want to savor and collect.\nFor the first time ever, the series makes selected popular short works previously offered only in collections available in a unique, stand-alone format. Also for the first time, WISPs harness the talents of top children's book illustrators for the benefit and delight of a new, older audience.\nThe unique appeal of WISPs is brought to life in Marc Simont's The Secret Lives of Walter Mitty and James Thurber, which imaginatively renders the fantastic adventures of the famed protagonist in Thurber's beloved story, first published in 1939. Also included in this edition are Simont's renderings of Thurber's tongue-in-cheek autobiographical essay \"The Secret Life of James Thurber\", which first appeared in The New Yorker in 1943 and is not widely available.\nThese one-of-a-kind, attractively priced and invitingly formatted illustrated editions will make a great impulse buy with broad appeal.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060847883\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0060847883.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Thurber, James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
