Mark Twain 
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Humorous Tales (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition) [EPUB ebook] 

Support

This volume gathers eight of Mark Twain’s most-loved humorous stories and features ‘The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County’-the career-making story of a visit by an inveterate gambler to an old mining camp in California’s Gold Country. The undisputed master of the tall tale, Twain’s legendary deadpan delivery and his ability to pile on and compound the hilarity make his stories as uproarious as they are singular. His humor also reveals a keen insight into not only what makes us laugh but what makes us human. This Warbler Classics edition includes Twain’s 1894 essay ‘Private History of the ‘Jumping Frog’ Story, ‘ which includes Twain’s ‘retranslation’ from the French, and a detailed biographical timeline.
