The story explores themes of love, loss, and the afterlife, with Twain's signature wit and humor.There was a sound--a warning--the clearing of a throat.

They came trembling to him, and stood humbly before him and waited.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
