Mark Twain: The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson

Pudd'nhead Wilson is an ironic novel by Mark Twain. It was serialized in The Century Magazine (1893-4), before being published as a novel in 1894. The setting is the Missouri frontier town of Dawson's Landing on the banks of the Mississippi River in the first half of the 1800s.
