"To no writer can the term 'American' more justly be applied than to the humorist whose Merry Tales are here presented."

-Editor's Note, Merry Tales (1892)

Merry Tales (1892) is a collection of seven humorous short stories written by Mark Twain in his quintessential satirical style. This collection includes Meisterschaft, a play where two young lovers conduct their courtship in beginning German; Luck, a funny sketch about the military and The Private History of a Campaign That Failed, this collection's most popular story about Twain's experiences during the Civil War.

This jacketed hardcover replica of the 1892 edition of Merry Tales is a nice addition to the library of Mark Twain aficionados.
