Mark
Twain's Best Short Stories
by Mark Twain
Samuel Langhorne Clemens
(1835-1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, is the author of
such classics as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn, and The Prince and the Pauper. He was
born in Florida, Missouri and grew up along the Mississippi Valley.
Although he left school at the age of 12, when his father died, he was
eventually awarded honorary degrees from Yale University, the University
of Missouri, and Oxford University. His career encompassed such varied
occupations as printer, miner, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist,
travel writer, novelist, and publisher. His vivid imagination, keen
sense of humor, and sharp wit resulted in some of the most beloved
classics of American literature.
This book contains some of
Clemens’ best loved short stories and essays, both humorous and thought
provoking. Includes “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”,
“The Stolen White Elephant”, “A Dog’s Tale”, and “Extracts from Adam’s
Diary”, among others. Illustrated.
