The Innocents Abroad: The Quint Essential Edition


The reviews are in:

“Reading through Trauring’s The Innocents Abroad is the equivalent of rediscovering Mark Twain guiding his contemporary readers through the 19th century pleasure excursion trip while Philip Trauring is whispering hints in the reader’s ear of what was really happening and how these same places and countries and cities look today.” – Barbara Schmidt, official review in the Mark Twain Forum

“…the best and most fun edition of The Innocents Abroad to read since the first edition” – Kevin Mac Donnell, Mark Twain scholar

“Twain’s fascinating journey finds a new level of accessibility in this volume. A thoroughly well-organized rendition of this classic, snarky work.” – Kirkus Reviews
