These selections from the works of Mark Twain are presented in chronological order. They include the memorable whitewashing of the fence in "Tom Sawyer", events preceding the Mississippi River raft journey in "Huckleberry Finn", a dark moment during the exchange of identities in âThe Prince and the Pauperâ, and reflections of âA Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurâs Courtâ. A critic wrote of another excerpt concerning a feud, "...as dramatic and powerful an episode as I know in modern literature." Also included are comments about travel abroad, Joan of Arc, a generous helping of Twainâs renowned quips, and mortality. (Lee Smalley)
