For nearly two decades before Mark Twain published his finest novel, " Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," he was refining his craft and winning tremendous popularity with his short stories and sketches. This richly entertaining and comprehensive collection presents sixty-five of the very best of Mark Twain s short pieces, from the classic frontier sketch The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County to the richly imaginative fable Extract from Captain Stormfield s Visit to Heaven. Compiled by Pulitzer Prize winning Twain scholar and biographer, Justin Kaplan, this collection represents some of Mark Twain s wittiest and most insightful writing."
