Book Description
How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About The Best American Humorous Short Stories by H. C. Bunner "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. This brief collection of 19 short stories is an interesting collection from the late 19th and early 20th century, featuring great authors and some of their more interesting brief works. There are familiar pieces from Henry, Bierce and others as well as some lesser know pieces from authors like Poe. Those who enjoy the tongue in cheek, ironic and observant will enjoy these playful and sometimes biting pieces.This volume contains a massive collection of humorous stories from America's favorite writers:The Little Frenchman and His Water Lots (1839) George Pope MorrisThe Angel of the Odd (1844) Edgar Allan PoeThe Schoolmaster's Progress (1844) Caroline M.S. KirklandThe Watkinson Evening (1846) Eliza LeslieTitbottom's Spectacles (1854) George William CurtisMy Double; and How He Undid Me (1859) Edward Everett HaleA Visit to the Asylum for Aged and Decayed Punsters (1861) Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1865) Mark TwainElder Brown's Backslide (1885) Harry Stillwell EdwardsThe Hotel Experience of Mr. Pink Fluker (1886) Richard Malcolm JohnstonThe Nice People (1890) Henry Cuyler BunnerThe Buller-Podington Compact (1897) Frank Richard StocktonColonel Starbottle for the Plaintiff (1901) Bret HarteThe Duplicity of Hargraves (1902) O.

Book Description
The Best American Humorous Short Stories by H. C. Bunner et al. I have tried to keep a certain unity of aim and impression in selecting these stories. In the first place I determined that the pieces of brief fiction which I included must first of all be not merely good stories, but good short stories. I put myself in the position of one who was about to select the best short stories in the whole range of American literature, but who, just before he started to do this, was notified that he must refrain from selecting any of the best American short stories that did not contain the element of humor to a marked degree. But I have kept in mind the wide boundaries of the term humor, and also the fact that the humorous standard should be kept second--although a close second--to the short story standard.
