Mark Twain - Sketches New and Old

A group of funny fictional stories by 'the father of American literature' Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who became famous and popular under his pen-name Mark Twain.
From the author: I have scattered through this volume a mass of matter which has never been in print before (such as 'Learned Fables for Good Old Boys and Girls,' the 'Jumping Frog restored to the English
tongue after martyrdom in the French,' the 'Membranous Croup' sketch, and many others which I need not specify): not doing this in order to make an advertisement of it, but because these things seemed instructive.
