Description
Puddnhead Wilson (1894) was Mark Twains last serious work of fiction, and perhaps the only real novel that he ever produced. Written in a more sombre vein than his other Mississippi writings, the novel reveals the sinister forces that Mark Twain felt to be threatening the American dream. In spite of a plot which includes child swapping, palmistry, and a pair of Italian twins, this astringent work also raises the serious issue of racial differences.This volume also includes two other late works `Those Extraordinary Twins and `The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg.
