MANY MOONS is a story for children by James Thurber. Louis Slobodkin has done the beautiful illustrations.

It is the tale of a little princess who wanted the moon, and of how she got it. Every family will relish the perplexed wise men, the enraged king, the understanding jester, and the practical way in which the little princess solved the problem that baffled all her elders.

This is the first Thurber story for children, and this book is the first combination of two most gifted artists.
