    About this ebook

    Introducing Diversion Classics, a series that showcases great works of literature from the world's most beloved authors.

    In the antebellum South, two identical infants, one considered white, the other considered black, are switched at birth. What follows is a wild tale of mistaken identity, criminal intrigue, and shocking twists. Blending sharp wit and serious analysis, THE TRAGEDY OF PUDDN’HEAD WILSON is a biting critique of Southern society, from the pen of an American master of satire.

    Author

    Mark Twain

    Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed book—and, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.
