Irreverent, charming, and eminently quotable, this handbook - an eccentric etiquette guide for the human race - contains 69 aphorisms, anecdotes, whimsical suggestions, maxims, and cautionary tales from Mark Twain’s private and published writings. It dispenses advice and reflections on family life and public manners; opinions on topics such as dress, health, food, and childrearing and safety; and more specialized tips, such as those for dealing with annoying salesmen and burglars.

Letters to Minnehaha Creek is a poetry collection structured in four sections of poems through the passing seasons. In many of the poems, the narrator addresses Minnehaha Creek directly, reminiscing about her deceased friend, Dorothy, as she walks the same neighborhood routes they once traveled together. The tone of the poems reflects the seasons. Fall takes place in the aftermath of Dorothy’s death and explores the narrator’s longing for her friend. Winter highlights the narrator’s sadness and acceptance that Dorothy is truly gone.
