Long before moving pictures were invented, youngsters from eight to eighty were being charmed by a special kind of animated cartoon—the word sketches of Mark Twain. His descriptions and episodes involving animals have all the life of a Walt Disney production with the added advantage of the great wit and artistry of Twain's prose—something which could never be captured in pictures alone. A Mark Twain sketch may begin as an ordinary cartoon: a camel eating the author's coat. You can see the scene, and it's very funny: the camel "opening and closing his eyes in a kind of religious ecstasy, as if he had never tasted anything as good as an overcoat before in his life." But then comes the Twain touch. The camel finds some newspaper correspondence, starts to eat it, and "dies a death of indescribable agony, choking on one of the mildest and gentlest statements of fact that I ever laid before a trusting public." Over and over again, Twain goes beyond mere humor to turn his portraits into truthful, though sometimes unflattering, insights into the world and human nature. For most of Twain's animals are "as human as you be." A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket. Robert Roche (illustratore).…

First Edition. very good condition original drawings and paintings by Robert Roche; original drawings and paintings by Robert Roche; LIB2958012720; The book is a mock-up copy with some text and lots of blank pages and some illustrations. The letter is from Josua B. Powers (his name is on title page) and discusses Mark Twain. The last paragraph is thus: "I am mailing you an item for your collection, an uncompleted sample of a boog that never appeared. Much work was done on it by my friend, and your fellow Missourian, Leonard Gold. My name was on the title page as publisher, but the book was designed for Harper's, which finally decided against the considerable investment. Only a few of these presentation dummies exist." The book was published by University of Oklahoma, though the writer doesn' t mention it. It is a bit confusing but I think his reference is to the fact that it was not published by Harpers as presented by him and Mr. Gold.It is a good collector's item.…
