Humorous Stories and Sketches Synopsis

Mark Twain's inimitable blend of humor, satire and masterly storytelling earned him a secure place in the front rank of American writers. This collection of eight stories and sketches, among them the celebrated classic "e;The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,"e; shows the great humorist at the top of his form.Also included here are "e;Journalism in Tennessee,"e; in which a novice newspaperman is shown the "e;correct way"e; to report a news story; "e;About Barbers,"e; a delightful account of every barbershop customer's worst fear; "e;Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offences,"e; Twain's hilarious savaging of that author's style, and four more: "e;A Literary Nightmare,"e; "e;The Stolen White Elephant,"e; "e;The Private History of a Campaign that Failed"e; and "e;How to Tell a Story."e;Delightfully entertaining, these charming pieces will find an appreciative audience among students, general readers and lovers of classic American humor.
