It dispenses advice and reflections on family life and public manners; opinions on topics such as dress, health, food, and childrearing and safety; and more specialized tips, such as those for dealing with annoying salesmen and burglars. Culled from Twain's personal letters, autobiographical writings, speeches, novels, and sketches, these pieces are delightfully fresh, witty, startlingly relevant, and bursting with Twain's characteristic ebullience for life. They also remind us exactly how Mark Twain came to be the most distinctive and well-known American literary voice in the world. These texts, some of them new or out of print for decades, have been selected and meticulously prepared by the editors at the Mark Twain Project. 410 0$aJumping Frogs: Undiscovered, Rediscovered, and Celebrated Writings of Mark Twain 606 $aConduct of life$vQuotations, maxims, etc 606 $aConduct of life$vLiterary collections 610 $aamerican author. 610 $aamerican literature. 610 $aanecdotes. 610 $aaphorisms. 610 $aautobiography. 610 $abiography. 610 $aburglars. 610 $achildrearing. 610 $achildren. 610 $aclassic literature. 610 $aclassic. 610 $aclassics. 610 $acomic. 610 $adress. 610 $aetiquette. 610 $afashion. 610 $afiction. 610 $afood. 610 $afunny. 610 $agrooming. 610 $aguidebook. 610 $ahealth. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ahumor. 610 $ahygiene. 610 $ajokes. 610 $aletters. 610 $aliterary celebrity. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliterary sketch. 610 $aliterature. 610 $amaxims. 610 $amemoir. 610 $aparenting. 610 $arogues. 610 $asalesman. 610 $asatire. 610 $ashort stories. 610 $asocial commentary. 610 $asocial life. 610 $asociety. 610 $aspeeches. 610 $atwain. 610 $aunpublished twain. 615 0$aConduct of life 615 0$aConduct of life 676 $a818/.409 700 $aTwain$b Mark$f1835-1910.$027404 701 $aSalamo$b Lin$01484890 701 $aFischer$b Victor$f1942-$01484891 701 $aFrank$b Michael B$01484892 712 02$aBancroft Library Mark Twain Project. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783386603321 996 $aMark Twain's helpful hints for good living$93703723 997 $aUNINA
