Thurber's rapier wit meets its match in Yoon's intelligent, powerful imagery in this classic tale about the absurdity of omnipotence.

Gorgeously illustrated and including two gatefolds that give us a panoramic jungle at war, The Tiger Who Would Be King is as entertaining as it is wise, as wry as it is passionate. Yoon's humorous images support this beautifully written text with wit and insight. Her final portrait of the tiger in a sea of silence will stay with the reader for a long, long time.

JooHee Yoon is an illustrator and printmaker committed to the art of bookmaking. She enjoys combining illustration with design whenever possible and using both traditional and industrial printing techniques for her projects.

Humorist, James Thurber (Dec. 8, 1894 - Nov. 2, 1961), joined the staff of The New Yorker in 1927.

His stories and cartoons have been collected in over thirty volumes and there have been adaptations for the stage, television, movies, and musical presentations.
