Download Those Extraordinary Twins: Mark Twain's First Draft of Pudd'nhead Wilson AudioBook Free
A man of many firsts, Mark Twain was the first author to use the typewriter and the first person to have a telephone in his home (which without doubt made him the first person to swear at tech support!). He patented the accordion file, the fountain pen, and adjustable suspenders. And when he published "deleted scenes" from Pudd'nhead Wilson as Those Extraordinary Twins he became the first publisher to include "bonus tracks" as well as the finished work.As Twain said: "As a brief tale grows into a long tale, the initial intention (or motif) is likely to get abolished and discover itself superseded by the quite different one. It was so regarding a magazine sketch which I once began to write - a funny and fantastic sketch in regards to a prince and a pauper....Much the same thing happened with Pudd'nhead Wilson, since it changed itself from a farce to a tragedy while I was going along with it - a most embarrassing circumstance....it had not been one story, but two stories tangled together; and they obstructed and interrupted the other person at every turn and created no end of confusion and annoyance. THEREFORE I pulled out the farce and left the tragedy."
