Rare and handsome set of this famous American writer's works, also containing his biography, letters, and his own autobiography. The third uniform edition named after one of Mark Twain's residences: Stormfield, in Redding, Connecticut, was home to Samuel Clemens from June 1908 until his death in April 1910. Volume 22 is titled "In Defense of Harriet Shelley" (retitled from "Literary Essays"). This is number 164 of 1024 numbered copies.
Minor rubbing to spines, gilt edges partially shaved, spine of vol. 17 with faint scratch mark. Minor worming to endpapers of nine vols., somewhat stronger to vol. 3 and partially affecting the inner margin of the first 10 and last 5 leaves. In all very appealingly preserved.
