A much celebrated jumping frog, the lack of literature in a gold-mining town, and castaways who eat their own shoes to survive are among the subjects treated by the stories contained in this volume. The Jumping Frog and Other Sketches captures the light and humorous spirit of Mark Twain’s early work, inspired by his experiences in the mining districts of California and Nevada. These sketches became widely known in America, India, China and England and launched the solid foundation of the author's fame.

Fine verbatim reproduction of Mark Twain's first book. "Mr. C. H. Webb has celebrated his debut as publisher by bestowing upon a community long rested from loud laughs, a book calculated to promote healthy good humor in the system. Mark Twain's book of California stories, 'The Jumpin' Frog and Other Sketches' -- is a work that will make its readers merry. . . . There are few who can resist the quaint smiles, keen satire, and hard good sense which form the staple of the writings." --New York Evening Express, 1867
