Description
Out of The Strand’s vaults comes a collector’s gem. This special issue features the first-ever publication of Mark Twain’s sly and darkly comic short story “The Undertaker’s Tale,” a rediscovered piece that showcases Twain’s inimitable wit.
But Twain is not alone. We also unearth P. G. Wodehouse’s long-lost tale “Providence and the Butler,” brimming with the humor and charm that made him a master of comic fiction.
Award-winning novelist Andrew Taylor delivers a chilling original, a train journey of the damned, proving why he is one of today’s finest voices in historical and crime fiction.
The issue is further enriched with revealing interviews: the legendary Christopher Plummer reflects on his career and love of reading, David Baldacci discusses the art of crafting thrillers, and former spymaster Oleg Kalugin shares startling insights into the shadowy world of espionage.
A vault release blending literary legends, modern masters, and unforgettable voices—this issue is a rare keepsake for readers and collectors alike.
