No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger

by Mark Twain, William M. Gibson (Editor), John S. Tuckey (Foreword by)

Overview

This is the only authoritative text of this late novel. It reproduces the manuscript which Mark Twain wrote last, and the only one he finished or called the "The Mysterious Stranger." Albert Bigelow Paine's edition of the same name has been shown to be a textual fraud.
