by Mark Twain (Editor), Steve Martin (Editor), Roy Blount (Introduction by)

Here's the best and funniest writing of the 19th century--collected, edited, and introduced by the king of American literary humor. Aside from including some of his own pieces, Twain spotlights pieces by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ambrose Bierce, and Bret Harte, among others.

Front Jacket

Beginning with the piece that made Mark Twain famous--"The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"--and ending with his fanciful "How I Edited an Agricultural Paper," this treasure trove of an anthology, an abridgment of the 1888 original, collects twenty of Twain's own pieces, in addition to tall tales, fables, and satires by forty-three of Twain's contemporaries, including Washington Irving, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ambrose Bierce, William Dean Howells, Joel Chandler Harris, Artemus Ward, and Bret Harte.
