Paperback trade, very good condition, bottom corner rear cover little creased, covers little scratched, minor edgewear. 202 pp. This Mark Twain Library text of this surprising and little-known novel (No. 44) is a photographic reproduction of the text published in Mark Twain's Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts. Based on boyhood memories of the Mississippi River Valley and the printshops of Hannibal, the story is set in medieval Austria at the dawn of the printing craft. It is a psychic adventure, full of phantasmagoric effects, in which a penniless printer's apprentice - a youthful mysterious stranger with the curious name 44 - gradually reveals his otherworldly powers and the hidden possibilities of the mind.

Features expert notes and commentary, and - for the first in the Mark Twain Library edition - a glossary of printer's terms.…
