1878. As humorist, narrator, and social observer, Twain (Samuel Clemens) is unsurpassed in American literature. His novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a masterpiece of humor, characterization, and realism, has been called the first, and perhaps the best, modern American novel. The stories contained in this volume include: The Sawyer, Detective; The Stolen White Elephant; Some Rambling Notes of an Idle Excursion; The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut; About Magnanimous-Incident Literature; Punch, Brothers, Punch.
