First published in 1865, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" was Mark Twains first real literary success and arguably launched his career as a writer. The story revolves around a tale the narrator once heard about a gambler named Jim Smiley who would bet on absolutely anything. An amusing tale of mistaken identity and a frog called Daniel Webster, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is a mustread that will not disappoint fans of Twains unique work. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (18351910), more commonly known under the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, lecturer, publisher and entrepreneur most famous for his novels "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876) and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1884). Other notable works by this author include "The Gilded Age A Tale of Today" (1873) and "The Prince and the Pauper" (1881). Read Co.
