Early Tales & Sketches, Vol. 2

"The texts themselves are often delightful. Clemens's growth as a humorist of resource, with an armentarium of devices he employs with increasing skill, evidences itself repeatedly. The reader can almost watch him become Mark Twain. . . . Here's another indispensable book from the 'Twain Works.'"—American Literature

"a remarkable series"—Susan K. Harris, American Literary Realism
