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.

As to be expected of an anthology, something of a mixed bag. Some are well-worn classics, like Twain's Jumping Frog. Others may not deserve to be in the same company. ( )

Please do not combine with the book of the same title edited by Robert N. Linscott. While both were published by the Modern Library, and both were numbered 87 in the Modern Library, the contents are very different. Thank you.
