Thurber’s style belongs to one that appeared in the 20th century, whose stories were created from light, fanciful, or odd situations, and often relying on pun, playing upon the meaning of sound of words. ...

The Unicorn in the Garden
This short story written by James Thurber presents a type of relationship based on the day after day of a married couple. ...
