Book Review:
Mark Twain (1835-1910) remains America’s most beloved humorist and satirist. This Laurel Reader (Special Student Edition), edited by Edmund Fuller, brings together Twain’s finest shorter works — complete stories, articles, and selections from longer books. Highlights include “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” (his breakthrough tale), the darkly satirical “The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg,” the anti-war masterpiece “The War Prayer,” and the charming “Eve’s Diary.” Perfect for students or anyone seeking an accessible introduction to Twain’s wit, wisdom, and sharp social criticism. A pocket-sized treasure from Dell Publishing.
