Product Description

David Wilson is called "Pudd'nhead" by the townspeople, who fail to understand his combination of wisdom and eccentricity. He redeems himself by simultaneously solving a murder mystery and a case of transposed identities.

Two children, a white boy and a mulatto, are born on the same day. Roxy, mother of the mulatto, is given charge of the children; in fear that her son will be sold, she exchanges the babies. The mulatto, though he grows up as a white boy, turns out to be a scoundrel. He sells his mother, murders and robs his uncle, then blames the murder on Luigi, one of a pair of twins. Pudd'nhead, a lawyer, undertakes Luigi's defense and, on the basis of fingerprint evidence, exposes the real murderer.

The book implicitly condemns a society that allows slavery. It concludes with a series of witty aphorisms from Pudd'nhead's calendar.

Very good but tiny print 9 Jan 2009
By Melissa Wayne - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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? 5 Sep 2010
By Jill Clardy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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 7 Nov 2006
By able baker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A really big book, 10 works in one. Ideal for long journeys (which Twain took a few of himself!).
