"I was a twenty-seven-year-old mining-broker's clerk in San Francisco, and an expert in all the details of stock traffic. I was alone in the world and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect."
-The £1,000,000 Bank Note (1893)
The £1,000,000 Bank Note and Other New Stories (1893) is a collection of nine humorous short stories by Mark Twain. The title story is an entertaining tale about how a bet between two rich English gentleman results in a poor clerk from San Francisco gaining wealth and status in London society. Movie fans will recognize this story as the inspiration for the 1980s movie Trading Places.
This replica of the 1893 edition of The £1,000,000 Bank Note and Other New Stories is a charming addition to anyone's library of Mark Twain books.
