Mark Twain's anthology presents a collection of brief stories that highlight his signature wit and keen observations of 19th-century American society. The lead tale, "The $30,000 Bequest," follows Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams as they navigate the absurdities and misadventures that accompany their unexpected wealth. Other stories explore themes of family dynamics, social satire, and human folly, including a sharp critique of hypocrisy in "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg." Twain's clever storytelling and memorable characters offer a timeless blend of humor and social commentary.
