Synopsis

The $30,000 Bequest, and Other Stories is a collection of thirty comic short stories by Mark Twain, published in 1906. The volume brings together tales from across almost four decades of Twain’s career, spanning from 1865 to 1904, and highlights his characteristic humor and satirical wit. The collection includes the titular story and also features earlier works such as “Advice to Young Girls” and “A Burlesque Biography.” Rather than extensively rewriting the material, the book compiles previously published pieces with minimal changes from their original versions.
