Mark Twain: 1276 books

This landmark anniversary edition contains a selection of Twain's hard-to-find letters and notes expressing his always-engaging opinions on the publication of Tom Sawyer.

In spite of the fact that he had enormous fun in spoofing the religion, Twain had great respect for it. His daughter became a Christian Scientist. She was the only one who survived in Samuel Clemmons nuclear family.

The title story is Twain’s darkly fantastic take on religion, reality, and the meaning of life. It takes place in 1590 in the remote Austrian village of Eseldorf, where few young boys greet an unexpected visitor: an angel named Satan. Among the six other stories included are "A Fable," "Hunting the Deceiful Turkey," and "The McWilliamses and the Burglar Alarm."
