Description:How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Best American Humorous Short Stories by H. C. Bunner "Although every literary tradition has its own rich vein of humor writing, there's something about American humor that sets it apart from the pack in terms of accessibility and lack of pretension. This volume includes writings from such luminaries of the genre as Mark Twain, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Edgar Allen Poe, and the brevity of most of the collected pieces makes it easy to take a short reading break whenever you could use a good laugh. This brief collection of 19 short stories is an interesting collection from the late 19th and early 20th century, featuring great authors and some of their more interesting brief works. There are familiar pieces from Henry, Bierce and others as well as some lesser know pieces from authors like Poe. Those who enjoy the tongue in cheek, ironic and observant will enjoy these playful and sometimes biting pieces. This volume contains a massive collection of humorous stories from America's favorite writers: The Little Frenchman and His Water Lots (1839) George Pope Morris The Angel of the Odd (1844) Edgar Allan Poe The Schoolmaster's Progress (1844) Caroline M.S. Kirkland The Watkinson Evening (1846) Eliza Leslie Titbottom's Spectacles (1854) George William Curtis My Double; and How He Undid Me (1859) Edward Everett Hale A Visit to the Asylum for Aged and Decayed Punsters (1861) Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865) Mark Twain Elder Brown's Backslide (1885) Harry Stillwell Edwards The Hotel Experience of Mr. Pink Fluker (1886) Richard Malcolm Johnston The Nice People (1890) Henry Cuyler Bunner The Buller-Podington Compact (1897) Frank Richard Stockton Colonel Starbottle for the Plaintiff (1901) Bret Harte The Duplicity of Hargraves (1902) O. Henry Bargain Day at Tutt House (1905) George Randolph Chester A Call (1906) Grace MacGowan Cooke How the Widow Won the Deacon (1911) William James Lampton Gideon (1914) by Wills Hastings "We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
