Pohádky známého amerického prozaika Jamese Thurbera si oblíbilo již několik generací dětských i dospělých čtenářů, které oslovil autorův svérázný přístup k pohádkovému žánru, využívající nejen jeho tradičních prvků - zakletých princezen, statečných princů či zlých čarodějů -, ale i nevšedního humoru, fantazie a mimořádné jazykové vynalézavosti a hravosti. Trojice Thurberových příběhů Třináctery hodiny, O bílé lani a Báječné O v mistrovském překladu Radoslava Nenadála vychází tentokrát s ilustracemi Václava Kabáta a jistě nebude mít nouzi o nové příznivce mezi dětmi ani jejich rodiči.
