What happens when a child born free and a child born a slave change places? The result is a biting social commentary with enduring relevance, and a good old-fashioned murder mystery. It also introduces one of Twain's favorite characters: Pudd'nhead Wilson, an intellectual with a penchant for amateur sleuthing. F.R. Leavis proclaimed this novel \"the masterly work of a great writer.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith an Introduction by Louis Budd\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Signet Book","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48845512114381,"sku":"9780451530745","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_ea7aca47-4743-4e96-bb96-d779ad75fd97.jpg?v=1792776560","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/puddnhead-wilson","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
