London, Chatto & Windus, 1909-1922. Cloth. Two smart uniform volumes of the works of Mark Twain, with illustrations throughout. Two volumes. New impressions. Written by Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, an American writer, humorist, and essayist praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced."

A memoir of Twain's days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before the American Civil War and a travel book, recounting his trips on the Mississippi River, from St. Louis to New Orleans and then on to Saint Paul, many years after the war.
