This short story authored by James Thurber was first published in The New Yorker in 1939.
While I knew the story and premise of Walter Mitty, I came across the original story in a book titled “A Treasury of American Humor” published by Westvaco Corporation in 1996.
The book is one of an annual series published for over 50 years with editions presented to their customers over the holidays. I have seven editions in my collection, covering the years we used Westvaco paper for the cover of Boys’ Life Magazine.
I find it a delightful story, a quick read, and I hope you enjoy it as well.
