MY LIFE AND HARD TIMES by James Thurber,
read by Tyler Coppin, produced by Justine Sloane-Lees.
ABC Radio National “First Person” 2008 (repeated 2011)
Widely hailed as one of the finest humorists of the twentieth century, James Thurber looks back at his own life growing up in Columbus, Ohio, with the same humour and sharp wit that characterised his sketches and writing.
First published in 1933, My Life and Hard Times recounts the delightful chaos and frustrations of an eccentric family, boyhood, youth, odd dogs, recalcitrant machinery and the foibles of human nature.

A couple of hiccups in the audio but otherwise clear and easy listening.
