The humor that redeems,
By
This review is from: Tales, Speeches, Essays, and Sketches (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
This is a varied collection of the writings of American's greatest humorist. It contains many of his most well- known short pieces from the devastating critique of Fenimore - Cooper to 'The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg'. It contains newspaper reportage, short stories, literary essays, excerpts from his books.
In almost all that he writes his great humor keeps us smiling, laughing and reading.

Twain at His Best,
By Jill Clardy "So many books, so little time...." (Redwood City, CA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tales, Speeches, Essays, and Sketches (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)
Mark Twain is famous for his novels, including Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer; but beyond the novels he was the most prolific author and speaker of his time - truly the voice of America in his era. The speeches and essays in this collection are a terrific exposure to his wit and whimsy. Just flip open the book and read a few pages and you will be laughing or at list snickering at his wry take on almost any subject.
