Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-14 00:00:00 ROBERT HAAK I had read the two Tom Sawyer stories a while ago, but the other stories and essays in the collection were new to me. They're entertaining, particularly "Punch, Brothers, Punch" which appears to be an early example (without using the term) of an "ear worm" (a tune you can't get out of your head, in this case a jingle for trolley drivers).

Review # 2 was written on 2013-06-10 00:00:00 Barbara Slovan Some of the lesser known stories beyond those in the title were more entertaining, although I enjoyed all of them. I think there may be some stretchers in Tom Sawyer Abroad, a rather fantastical adventure that has Tom, Huck and Jim flying around the world in a balloon. The stories and essays reveal that human nature hasn't changed very much in a hundred years and neither has politics.
