Accolades concerning his prowess as a writer are many and not least among them that he was, ' the father of American literature' and 'the greatest humourist the United States has produced'. His characters, Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer are immortal and many of his novels familiar to all, having been continually in print, translated into many languages and adapted for radio, stage and motion pictures. Twain was also prodigious author of shorter fiction and unquestionably had a penchant for the odd and peculiar as subject material. Indeed, if this collection included every title by Twain to which that description could be broadly applied it would substantially larger one than this two volume Leonaur collection. So the Leonaur editors have carefully selected those tales which, in their judgement, are furthest away from the normal and every day, but include the most fantastical, bizarre, ominous and haunting themes. This volume also includes, ' A Dying Man's Confession', 'A Burning Brand', 'Is he Living or is he Dead?' and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Twain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1917666667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781917666664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonaur Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Mark Twain","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48460342558975,"sku":"9781917666664","price":32.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_974f6227-ce35-4a6b-8f71-f247c7ebcf18.jpg?v=1777414120","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-collected-shorter-supernatural-mark-twain-9781917666664","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
