Rather than the humor collection I was expecting, this is a collection of essays reminiscing about the people Thurber knew growing up in the early 20th century. It's a fine series of character sketches and gives a glimpse into a society most of us will never know, but the Thurber sense of whimsey is sadly missing here.
