American writer Samuel Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain has given us some literary gems with Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and his travel adventures in nineteenth-century Europe and to Australia and New Zealand. In this book, Twain discusses the art of telling--as opposed to writing--a story. Humour, Twain says, is American while comic is English and witty is French. He follows this typically brilliant essay with examples of story telling and some intriguing experiences of mental telegraphy. Mark Twain devotees will want to add this slim volume to their collection.
