Product Description
Ten of Mark Twain's best-loved works, each a classic of American literature, brought together for the first time in a single, great-value volume. An ideal gift for any fan of the wit and wisdom of Mark Twain.
From the Author
Preface to Tom Sawyer:
"Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual--he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture. The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent among children and slaves in the West at the period of this story--that is to say, thirty or forty years ago. Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in."

Very good but tiny print,
By Melissa Wayne "bear lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mark Twain: 10 Books in 1. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom Sawyer Abroad, Tom Sawyer, Detective, Huckleberry Finn, Life On The Mississippi, The Prince and The Pauper, The Tragedy Of Pudd'nhead Wilson, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, Roughing It, and Following The Equator (Paperback)
This is an excellent book with complete novels not abridged. But the print is tiny and layed out like a manuscript which makes it a challenge to read.

Who Doesn't Love Mark Twain?,
By Jill Clardy "So many books, so little time...." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mark Twain: 10 Books in 1. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom Sawyer Abroad, Tom Sawyer, Detective, Huckleberry Finn, Life On The Mississippi, The Prince and The Pauper, The Tragedy Of Pudd'nhead Wilson, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, Roughing It, and Following The Equator (Paperback)
The prospect of having 10 books in one (and not having to pay for each) was so appealing, but the reality was a bit different; the page format is odd - two columns per page. The book is large and heavy - so I couldn't read it in bed. Since I needed to read many of Twain's books for a course at Stanford University, I decided to go easy on the budget, but I've since decided that I will purchase separate high quality versions of the books that I really enjoy and intend to reread multiple times.

Large! - good value,
By able baker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mark Twain: 10 Books in 1.

A really big book, 10 works in one. Ideal for long journeys (which Twain took a few of himself!).
