"A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage" is an amusing short story written by Mark Twain in 1876. It was published in a very small, unauthorized edition in 1945, with an authorized engaging edition illustrated by cartoon/caricature master Peter de Sève not appearing until 2001.

EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION internally & externally. The number line ends with "2." For those who appreciate Twain, this is one of his amusing shorts; for those who are enthralled by Peter de Sève--illustrator extraodinaire of many New Yorker covers and creator of Scrat--this is a most agreeable interpretation.
