While The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn remain the most popular and best known writings of Mark Twain , his later sombre works are in many ways as remarkable. The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg exposes the venality of a small complacent town, and The
Mysterious Stranger tells the story of Satan at work in 16th-century Austria. Humphrey Carpenter examines some of the lesser-known works of Mark
Twain through the volumes of Shelley Fisher Fishkin 's major new edition The Oxford Mark Twain. Producer Fiona Bailey
