(The recorded broadcast of Dec. 25) Writing :n our Christmas number James Thurber said: ' The While Deer was brought out as a trade edition book for the adult market, since I hoped to reach grown-ups as well as children. I have never heaid from a child who had any Jifficulty in understanding the tale, but a number of adults, too far removed from the easy comprehension of youth, have been puzzled by it..... I hated to stop work on it, since I enjoyed writing it more than I have enjoyed writing anything else.'
