Sketches New and Old 
By Mark Twain (1835-1910) 


This collection of 63 writings by Mark Twain was 
published in 1875. Among other sketches, it contains “The 
Jumping Frog” in the original English, followed by a 
French translation (read here by Caroline Sophie) which 
Twain re-translated into English, showing how the French 
translation of his work was “badly flawed.” In many of 
these sketches, Twain shows his talent for outrageous 
and hilarious inventiveness, often in reaction to current events. Snan by 
John Greenman) 


Total running time: 10:33:53; read by John Greenman. Dedicated Proof-Listener:
