This illustrated edition of Mark Twain's classic tale is in three parts: the original "Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras Countw" published in 1865, the first French translation, and Twain's tongue-in-cheek verbatim retranslation "to the English after martyrdom in the French."
Throughout, Twain's broad yet graceful humor is beautifully complemented by the elegantly comic woodcuts of Alan James Robinson, with a unique four-page fold-out of the celebrated frog performing an extraordinary leap.
Fine Print calls Robinson a "superb illustrator" whose art "furthers the text." His woodcuts bring Twain's great comic tale to life for those who have not read it and those who have not read it for too long.
