Dear Mark Twain collects 200 of these letters written by a diverse cross-section of correspondents from around the world-children, farmers, schoolteachers, businessmen, preachers, railroad clerks, inmates of mental institutions, con artists, and even a former president. It is a unique and groundbreaking book-the first published collection of reader letters to any writer of Mark Twain's time. Its contents afford a rare and exhilarating glimpse into the sensibilities of nineteenth-century people while revealing the impact Samuel L. Clemens had on his readers. Clemens's own and often startling comments and replies are also included. R. Kent Rasmussen's extensive research provides fascinating profiles of the correspondents, whose personal stories are often as interesting as their letters. Ranging from gushing fan appreciations and requests for help and advice to suggestions for writing projects and stinging criticisms, the letters are filled with perceptive insights, pathos, and unintentional but often riotous humor. Many are deeply moving, more than a few are hilarious, some may be shocking, but none are dull.Jumping Frogs: Undiscovered, Rediscovered, and Celebrated Writings of Mark TwainAuthors, American19th centuryCorrespondenceAuthors and readersUnited StatesHumorists, American19th centuryCorrespondenceamerican literature.biography.celebrated writings.correspondents.deeply moving.engaging.epistolary.extensive research.fan mail.fascinating profiles.feel good.great writers.heartfelt.historical.history.jumping frogs.letters and correspondence.life lessons.lively.mark twain.pathos.pen pals.perceptive insights.personal stories.published collection.reader letters.riotous humor.samuel l clemens.startling comments.uplifting stories.Authors, AmericanAuthors and readersHumorists, American818/.409Rasmussen R.
