This vintage book contains Mark Twain's 1893 collection of short stories, "The £1,000,000 Bank Note and Other New Stories". "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" chronicles the miraculous rags-to-riches journey of a prudent and enterprising broker's clerk from San Francisco - who travels to London with only a dollar. Despite this, he manages to transcend the social strata of London with profound financial success and fame. This fantastic collection is highly recommended for those who enjoy the short story form, and it constitutes a must-have for fans and collectors of Twain's seminal work. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910) better known by his pseudonym, Mark Twain, was a seminal American writer and humourist. Many antiquarian books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
