Item Details
Description
Featured in this lot is a 1907 First Edition, "A Horse's Tale" by Mark Twain, Harper & Brothers, New York, London publishers. "A Horse's Tale", one of Mark Twain?s lighter writings, is a story about different perspectives on life, mainly from the vantage point of Soldier Boy - renowned Buffalo Bill?s horse, as well as an orphaned little girl, Cathy. The setting for this novel by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), is a fictional frontier outpost with the U.S. 7th Cavalry. When the general's orphaned niece arrives, Buffalo Bill takes her under his wing and ultimately lends her Soldier Boy, so they may seek adventure together. Twain uses the friendship between the girl and the horse as the basis for his eventual indictment of the barbarism of Spanish bullfighting. Filled with sharp humor, satire as well as sadness, this book deals with the impressions in life, the reasons for existing, all from the perspective of a little girl and her horse. This book is a must read by both Mark Twain fans and people enjoying a masterfully written story with hidden elements. Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", and William Faulkner called him, "The Father of American Literature". This red clothbound illustrated stamped hardcover book is in very nice condition, front cover illustration is of the book's main characters, slight scuffing and fading observed to cover. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and very slight foxing, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 8.25'L x 5.25"W x .75"D.*
