James Grover Thurber (December 8, 1894 – November 2, 1961) was an American cartoonist, author, humorist, journalist, playwright, and celebrated wit.
 He was best known for his cartoons and short stories published mainly in "The New Yorker" magazine, such as "The Catbird Seat," and collected in his numerous books.
 He was one of the most popular humorists of his time, as he celebrated the comic frustrations and eccentricities of ordinary people.
 He wrote the Broadway comedy "The Male Animal" in collaboration with his college friend Elliott Nugent; it was later adapted into a film starring Henry Fonda and Olivia de Havilland.
 His short story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" has been adapted for film twice, once in 1947 and again in 2013.
"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (1939) is a short story by James Thurber.
 The most famous of Thurber's stories, it first appeared in "The New Yorker" on March 18, 1939, and was first collected in his book "My World and Welcome to It" (Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1942).
 It has since been reprinted in "James Thurber: Writings and Drawings" (The Library of America, 1996, ISBN  ), is available on-line on the "New Yorker" website, and is one of the most anthologized short stories in American literature.
 The story is considered one of Thurber's "acknowledged masterpieces".
 It was made into a 1947 movie of the same name, with Danny Kaye in the title role, though the movie is very different from the original story.
 It was also adapted into a 2013 film, which is again very different from the original.
