Step into the wildly over-the-top world of The Curious Book (originally titled The Enemy Conquered; or, Love Triumphant), Mark Twain’s wickedly funny satire of 19th-century romantic fiction.

His heart beats only for the lovely Ambulinia, whose beauty is rivaled only by her baffling metaphors. But standing between them? An angry father, absurd obstacles, and enough melodrama to fuel a dozen dime novels.
