Longtime admirers of Mark Twain are aware of how integral animals
were to his work as a writer, from his first stories through his
final years, including many pieces that were left unpublished at
his death. This beautiful volume, illustrated with 30 new images by
master engraver Barry Moser, gathers writings from the full span of
Mark Twain's career and elucidates his special attachment to and
regard for animals. What may surprise even longtime readers and
fans is that Twain was an early and ardent animal welfare advocate,
the most prominent American of his day to take up that cause.
Edited and selected by Shelley Fisher Fishkin, who has also
supplied an introduction and afterword, "Mark Twain's Book of
Animals" includes stories that are familiar along with those that
are appearing in print for the first time.
