Kemble illustrations from the first edition; (d) Additional rare drawings, photographs, cartoons, posters & other illustrations (274 in all) in 2-color throughout.* ABOUT THE BOOK: A sumptuous annotated edition of the great American novel: First published in 1885, the book has delighted millions of readers, while simultaneously riling contemporary sensibilities, & is still banned in many schools & libraries. Now, Michael Patrick Hearn, author of the best-selling The Annotated Wizard of Oz, thoroughly reexamines the 116-year heritage of that archetypal American boy, Huck Finn, & follows his adventures along every bend of the mighty Mississippi River. Hearn's copious annotations draw on primary sources including the original manuscript, Twain's revisions & letters, & period accounts. Reproducing the original E.W. Kemble illustrations from the first edition, as well as countless archival photographs & drawings, some of them previously unpublished, The Annotated Huckleberry Finn is a book no family's library can do without; it may well prove to be the classic edition of the great American novel. * ABOUT MARK TWAIN: SAMUEL LANGHORNE CLEMENS (1835-1910), best known to the world by his pen-name Mark Twain, was an author and humorist, noted for his novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), which has been called "the Great American Novel" & The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) & many others. * ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR: EDWARD WINSOR KEMBLE (1861-1933) was born in Sacramento, California. An American cartoonist and illustrator, Kemble was commissioned by Mark Twain to illustrate the original edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He also created political cartoons and other illus. for newspapers and magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, The New York Daily Graphic, and Life. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR-EDITOR: MICHAEL PATRICK HEARN has written for the NYT, The Nation & many other publications. His books include From the Silver Age to Stalin: Russian Children's Book Illustration & The Porcelain Cat; he has edited The Victorian Fairy Tale Book, The Annotated Wizard of Oz, The Annotated Christmas Carol, & The Annotated Huckleberry Finn. He lives in New York City. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "For 100 years, the argument that this novel 'is' has been identified, reidentified, waged & advanced. What it cannot be is dismissed. It is classic literature, which is to say it heaves, manifests, & lasts." -Toni Morrison. Illustrated w/ the original illustrations by E.W. Kemble & w/ hundreds of archival photographs & drawings (illustrator). …

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. 1st Edition (second issue). (blue cloth with gold-and-black stamped illustration; no dust jacket) [moderate shelfwear to bottom edges and upper corners, gilt lettering and illustration on front cover still bright and attractive]. (pen and ink drawings) The author, a New York newspaperman at the time, was already well known for his "Chimmie Fadden" stories, about an Irish Bowery hooligan; these were dramatized for the stage, and the character was later featured in a number of silent film comedies. "Daughter," his first full-length novel, was centered around a young Italian immigrant girl who finds success as a dancer after having worked various menial jobs (fruit seller, sweatshop worker); a stage dramatization was announced as being in the works not long after its publication, but it's unclear whether it was actually staged or not. (This is the second issue, featuring the addition of a dedication and table of contents. Wright, American Fiction 1876-1900, 5537.) ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
