Octavos, maroon cloth; unread. This edition of Mark Twain reproduces the first editions of each of these titles, with the original illustrations. HOWEVER, added to each is an Introduction by a notable 20th century fictioneer such as Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison ( on HUCK FINN), and Kurt Vonnegut, E. L. Doctorow, Russell Banks, , Ursula K. Le Guin, Willie Morris; also writers such as Arthur Miller and Garry Wills. ADDED too, as Afterwords, are appreciations by noted Twain Scholars: thus, among them all is a major re-evaluation of Twain for the 21st century. AND, each volume has a frontispiece photograph of Twain as he appeared about the time of the work, with an essay on each of his illustrators. This is Twain For Our Times.
