Mark Twain's Letters 1853-1866 (The Mark Twain Papers)

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful book
Review: If you love Mark Twain, this is a necessary book and an extremely enjoyable one. Expertly edited, the letters are as interesting to read (if not more so!) than Twain's fiction. It's impossible not to be drawn to this witty, brilliant, sarcastic, amazing man. His letters shine a light upon his soul in a way that his fiction doesn't always do. I think the most interesting section are the letters from San Francisco. For anyone who admires the greatest American author, this will win a deserved place of honor on your bookshelf.
