This previously unpublished novella by Mark Twain, composed in 1876 as part of an unlaunched competition, has been rediscovered after being thought lost for many years. Narrated by Roy Blount, Jr. and Garrison Keillor, the story unfolds in the fictional town of Deer Lick, where humble farmer John Gray strives to marry off his daughter Mary to a wealthy suitor. However, the unexpected arrival of a stranger found unconscious in the snow disrupts Gray's plans and leads to a murder mystery that lies at the heart of the tale.
