Mark Twain's Letters: 1874-1875 (Mark Twain Papers)

Summary: Volume Two is wonderful
Review: I bought this book because I enjoyed the first volume of Twain's letters so much, I became hooked on this series. I wasn't disappointed, this volume is even better than the first one. Though it covers only one year, the letters to Livy, his wife, make this a treasure trove.

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. For anyone who admires the greatest American author, this will win a deserved place of honor on your bookshelf.
