Description
"Pudd'nhead Wilson, published in 1894, has been called Mark Twain's neglected classic. It is the story of Roxy, a slave woman, who switches her baby with her master's almost identical white infant. Thinking she has guaranteed the future of her own child, now technically free, Roxy has, in fact, just tragically complicated his life and her own. The consequences of her act unfold in a story that is part murder mystery, part farce; and thick with brutal irony about the racial character of small-town life on the Mississippi. Pudd'nhead Wilson crackles with relevance still." -- Dust jacket.
