Book 468: A Murder, A Mystery, and a Marriage

A Murder, A Mystery, and a Marriage, by Mark Twain, published in book form in 2001, by W.W. Norton & Company.

I read this story back when it appeared in the Atlantic Monthly (complete with illustrations from Peter de Seve.)  When I saw the story in book form, I bought it, although I did not re-read it right away.  I have to say that the Foreword and the Afterword by Roy Blount, Jr., add much to the story by giving it a context and a history.
