Review by Library Journal Review

This collection of Twain's great humor sketches has come and gone over the years. "Prion Humour Classics" here resurrects it again in a sweet little hardcover edition with a new introduction by Roy Blount Jr. Along with the title piece, this also contains 33 others, such as "Curing a Cold," "Science vs. Luck," and "Political Economy."
