Description
1871 EARLY Mark Twain Jumping Frog of Calaveras Sketches Humor Sketches RARE



“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

? Mark Twain



Mark Twain and his works were immensely popular all on their own. Such notable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn stood out about other 19th-century literary characters, and not just in the United States.



“Jumping Frog” was Mark Twains first great success as a writer and brought him national attention. It was published in 1865 as part of a small collection of short stories and was published by itself for the first time in 1903. This 1871 London edition was published by John Camden Hotten – a rare, early printing of Jumping Frog!
