The Mark Twain Forum needs a reviewer for the following book:

Twain, Mark. _How Nancy Jackson Married Kate Wilson and Other Tales of
Rebellious Girls and Daring Young Women_. Edited by John Cooley. University
of Nebraska Press, 2001. Pp. 255. Softcover, 6 x 9.  $16.95. ISBN
0-8032-9442-5.

(The review copy actually measures 5 x 9.)

Publicity material for the book reads in part:

"This special edition brings together the best of Twain's stories about
unconventional girls and women, from Eve as she names the animals in Eden
to Joan of Arc to the transvestite farce of a young man named Alice from
the Wapping district of London."

The book contains twelve of Twain's stories (all of which have previously
appeared in print) plus an introduction and concluding essay by John
Cooley.

As usual, the review must be of publishable quality, and it would be due
within two months of your receipt of the book. The deadline is particularly
important.  In all fairness to publishers and authors, if you are inclined
to procrastinate, or have difficulty meeting deadlines, please do not offer
to review this book.
