Sobre este artículo
Webster Groves, MO: International Mark Twain Society, 1939. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Red cloth with gilt spine lettering. iv, 18pp. Frontispiece, illustration. Very good. Spine faintly sunned. A superb and tight first edition of this oddball compilation introduced by E.C. Bentley, complete with dedication "to Benito Mussolini a warm admirer of Chesterton and his work." Surprisingly scarce in first edition. Clemens was the self-styled "nephew" of Mark Twain -- actually his third cousin, twice removed -- and made a career of editing and publishing sentimental, questionably scholarly works about Samuel Clemens such as "Gold Rush Days with Mark Twain" (1930), "Mark Twain and Mussolini" (1934), "My Cousin Mark Twain" (1939), "Young Sam Clemens" (1942) and others, along with founding the International Mark Twain Society in 1927 and editing the "Mark Twain Quarterly" he established in 1936. Front flyleaf ownership signature of Father Karl Schroeder (1910-99, long-time English professor known for Chaucer and Shakespeare courses at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa).
