Used hardcover copy of Mark Twain’s "Pudd’nhead Wilson and Those Extraordinary Twins". 1922 edition (published by Harper&Brothers Publishers) used by Wappingers Central School Library and initialed “FT”. In good condition.
Pudd'nhead Wilson is a novel by American writer Mark Twain. Its central intrigue revolves around two boys—one, born into slavery, with 1/32 black ancestry; the other, white, born to be the master of the house. The two boys, who look similar, are switched at infancy. Each grows into the other's social role.
The two narratives published together in The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson and the Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins are overflowing with spectacular events. Twain shows us conjoined twins, babies exchanged in the cradle, acts of cross-dressing and racial masquerade, duels, a lynching, and a murder mystery.
