Description

Missouri, Samuel L. Clemens wrote under the pen name Mark Twain and went on to author several novels, including two major classics of American literature: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Mark Twain explored the American soul with wit, buoyancy, and a sharp eye for truth. He honed a distinctive narrative style -- friendly, funny, irreverent, often satirical and always eager to deflate the pretentious. Twain became one of the best-known storytellers in the West. He got a big break in 1865, when one of his tales about life in a mining camp, "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog;' was printed in newspapers and magazines around the country (the story later appeared under various titles). His next step up the ladder of success came in 1867, when he took a five-month sea cruise in the Mediterranean, writing humorously about the sights for American newspapers with an eye toward getting a book out of the trip. And so it came to pass that in 1869 The Innocents Abroad was published, and it became a bestseller.
This collection contains some favourite short stories including, The Stolen White Elephant, A Dog's Tale, The Curious Dream and many more.
