Editorial Reviews
“The unmistakable touch of [Twain’s] comic genius can be seen, that sly alternation of hyperbole and deadpan understatement.” —Wall Street Journal
“An amalgam of workaday journalism, whimsy, shrewd and poetic observation, accurate commercial prophecy…and tongue-in-cheek tall tales.” —Times Literary Supplement
“Twain’s powers of observation and description are unsurpassed…a vivid picture of the life and scenery of these lovely islands.” —Saturday Review
“Those who treat themselves to these blustery, spirited letters will experience a journey in every sense of the word…A reminder of why Twain’s legacy has endured.” —Publishers Weekly
