Publisher's Synopsis
Travel yarns that only this best-loved author could spin. With a sharp eye and an even sharper wit, Twain is the quintessential tour guide of the 19th Century. Dispatches showcasing his caustic, gimlet-eyed humour, will take readers on a trot around the globe, from Hawaii to the Holy Land to Berlin (known as ?Europe?s Chicago?). The delicious assemblage of 68 tales features Twain?s trademark style - a combination of breezy insouciance and droll barbarism - at its very best.
