About this audiobook
Mark Twain
Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed book—and, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.

Reviews for A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage
62 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the skeleton of a story meant for a project that never came to fruition. It was discovered and published in 2001 with an extended foreword and afterword by Roy Blount Jr.The story itself is not terribly interesting on its own, but Blount's commentary (which takes up a full 50% of the book) is entertaining and informative. Peter de Sève's illustrations are fantastic and really sold this book for me.The book is mostly of interest for historical reasons, and it's not my sort of thing (being typically uninterested in this sort of history), but it's certainly good for what it is.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting short story,abt 50 pages.This book was lost from 1910-1945, a legal battle for rights ensued.In 2000 Buffalo & Erie County Public Library acquired the rights to publish this book.Twain has a notable history in Buffalo,NY. The foreward and afterward are interesting on their own.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A short novel exhibiting classic Train cynicism.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Twain vents his jealousy of Jules Verne's success with a (for him) fairly conventional tall tale.
