Letters from
the Earth
[Collection] Fawcett Crest paperback #M1447, edited by Bernard
DeVoto, with introduction by Henry Nash Smith – a posthumous publication
of some of Mark Twain’s more controversial stories and essays. The
author wrote in 1909, “This book will never be published... it would be
a felony.” His daughter relented and allowed publication of these
writings for the first time in 1960. It is vintage Twain: sharp, witty,
imaginative, and sometimes wildly funny.

The Prince and
the Pauper
[Fiction] TOR Classic paperback, 1992,
with introduction by R. L. Fisher – It was a lark: two boys, identical
except for their clothes, which they switched — but one of them was the
Prince of Wales, Edward Tudor, and the other was Tom Canty, a homeless
beggar. Then King Henry VIII died, and the game became serious; unless
two “mad” boys could convince someone of the truth, their fates would be
sealed forever — by a crown.
