Love Twain, but

I picked this book because I love Mark Twain. The beginning he explains how he writes his stories. I was fascinated. The story about the Golden Arm I remember from Mark Twain Tonight with Hal Holbrook. Other stories are less successful, especially the last one about a dead body and a coffin of guns.

I enjoyed reading them even if the last story didn’t work for me.
