The $30,000 Bequest and Other Stories

Comic stories and essays by Mark Twain
from archive.org

The $30,000 Bequest and Other Stories is a 1906 collection of 30 comic short stories by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. Published just 4 years before his death, this was the last time he chose works from throughout his career, in an effort to show the diversity of his style and the breadth and depth of his interests. (Introduction by John Greenman & Wikipedia )

(Note: I’m leaving the dupes in the listing. One is lower quality, but as it’s a 10 hour audio book and some people will be listening on bad cell service, the lower quality files will work better. Use the high quality files if you have decent service / WiFi.)
