Twain had a special fondness for animals and the pieces gathered in Mark Twain’s Book Of Animals (Univ. of California, $27.50) show him at his humorous, offensive, passionate, sardonic best. For laughs, read “Letters from a Dog to another Dog Explaining and Accounting for Man,” which combines Twain’s biting criticism of bipeds with a canine’s down-to-earth sensibleness. The masterful etchings by Barry Moser capture the spirit of Twain’s wit; this is a fun book for Twain fans and animal lovers. Adam Waterreus
