This unique collection of Twain's essential short stories and semiautobiographical narratives is a testament to the author's vast imagination. Featuring popular tales such as ""Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog"" and ""The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg,"" as well as some delightful excerpts from The Diaries of Adam and Eve, this compilation also includes darker works written in the author's twilight years. These selections illuminate the depth of Twain's artistry, humor, irony, and narrative genius.

Reviews for The Best Short Stories of Mark Twain
I like a good story told well. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself.
