Dear Mr. Strathcarron,

I would very much like to review the book.  My intention is to submit my review to the Humor in American blog, the Mark Twain Forum, and amazon.com.

Cordially,

Daunt Books are a small, intelligent chain of bookstores in central =
London. Occasionally they publish their own titles and they have just =
launched Mark Twain, American Drolleries; Selected Stories.

On the back cover it says =91In these extraordinary stories Mark Twain =
takes us from the sleepy banks of the Mississippi, through frontier =
towns, and across the deserted gold plains of California. We encounter =
his countryfolk in all their bizarre variety: a cannibalistic =
ex-senator, a compulsive gambler, phoney travelling salesmen, and a team =
of bumbling detectives. The breadth, skill, and comic ingenuity of these =
tales remind us why Mark Twain is truly the =91father of American =
literature=92.=92

This http://bit.ly/sEAkVt should link to it - if that doesn=92t work =
have a rummage around www.dauntbooks.co.uk

If anyone would like to review it I can ask them to send a copy over.

Happy reading and writing

Ian
