{"product_id":"humorous-stories-and-sketches-9780486292793","title":"Humorous Stories and Sketches","description":"Mark Twain's inimitable blend of humor, satire, and masterly storytelling earned him a secure place in the front rank of American writers. This collection of eight stories and sketches, among them the celebrated classic The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, shows the great humorist at the top of his form. Also included here are Journalism in Tennessee, in which a novice newspaperman is shown the correct way to report a news story; About Barbers, a delightful account of every barbershop customer's worst fear; Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses, Twain's hilarious savaging of that author's style; and four more: A Literary Nightmare, The Stolen White Elephant, The Private History of a Campaign that Failed, and How to Tell a Story. Delightfully entertaining, these charming pieces will find an appreciative audience among students, general readers, and lovers of classic American humor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-347983\"\u003eMark Twain\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.15h x 5.14w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486292793\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486292797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC004000\"\u003eClassics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the Civil War, Samuel Clemens (1835-1910) left his small town to seek work as a riverboat pilot.
