Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance

"Arthur Twain was a man of considerable note-a solicitor on the highway in William Rufus' time. At about the age of thirty he went to one of those fine old English places of

resort called Newgate, to see about something, and never returned again. While there he died

suddenly."

-Mark Twain, Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography (1871)

Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance (1871) are two short stories by Mark Twain. The first tale is a humorous story about fictional characters, supposedly Twain's ancestors. The second tale is about a strange power struggle in a European province.

This replica of the original edition of Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance, with the authentic illustrations, is not among Twain's best-known books, but still a nice little read.
