    Twain At His Humorous Best
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2015*

What a wonderful job the editors of this book did in selecting and compiling  this assortment of Mark Twain's writings. The topics covered are so varied and the time period they occur in gives the reader a good idea of worldly happenings and Twain's attitude at the time of each writing. This edition contains over 60 topics written by Twain mostly with tongue in cheek. He writes articles on family life and public manners. It speaks of dress and fashion, health issues, popular foods world-wide, tips on child rearing and even safety. It's a "how to" book on dealing with salesmen and even how to fend off burglars. The material was compiled from various sources that Clements published in over a 50 year expanse of time. Many of the topics have been out of print for decades.This book reads like a modern day "Dear Helouise."Twain also gives his opinion On A Complaint About Umbrella Service, Unwanted Magazine Subscriptions, How A Proposed Street Widening Should be handled, Traveling In Close Quarters with perfect strangers. Smoking, Health and Diet, Youthful Misdemeanors, and Under A Policeman's Eye.There are over 30 illustrations in this book.In this book, Samuel Clements, under the pen name of Mark Twain, offers a guide trough the "choppy waters" of life and he adds just the right amount of his personal waves to topple the boat and all within it. No one comes out of this work unsoaked. What a delight. Lewis Grizzard comes about the closest of all authors to Mark Twain in terms of spreading joy and happiness through the watching and talking about other people who are all part of "The Damn Human Race!"The author has such a magnetic and energetic style of writing, His wit is sharp and his experience is worldly. I think anyone who would enjoy picking up a book and being thoroughly entertained for how ever long they wish to read would find this book as fun and most enjoyable.

    Nice little book
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2014*

Not to be irreverent (Mr. Clemens is about to be bemused), but this little ditty is great for a bathroom read - if you know what I mean. Each title can be read in less than ten minutes which makes this a perfect read for my occasions. It is not so much a manual of helpful hints as it is a group of humorous and insightful short stories, essays, and observations that will continually make you smile, think, and look at the human race very differently from here on out. You will never look at Ben Franklin, digestion, or children the same way again.

    A Treasure
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2007*

Here are some useful living tips, advice and observations from that quintessential American literary figure Mark Twain, real name Samuel L. Clemens. This compilation contains a delightful mix of humorous writings on the mundane and sometimes very unusual occurrences that reflected his many gifts as a writer/humorist. Many of these snippets are from some of his more famous works, while others are from personal sketches and writings not as well known. The tarantulas escape, a borrowed overcoat, a lecture to a youth group, the use of foul language, a note to a burglar, and so many other little anecdotes, observations, and etc will elicit periods of laughter from the reader, as it did for me. A wonderful little treasure.
