Publisher's Synopsis
The American Claimant is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in 1892. The story follows the adventures of an American man named Colonel Mulberry Sellers, who believes he is the rightful heir to an English earldom. Sellers travels to England with his daughter, hoping to claim his title and fortune, but soon finds himself embroiled in a series of comical misadventures. Along the way, he meets a cast of eccentric characters, including a group of American expatriates and a scheming English lord. The novel is a satirical commentary on the social and political systems of both America and England, and is filled with Twain's trademark wit and humor. The American Claimant is considered one of Twain's lesser-known works, but is still a beloved classic of American literature.No weather will be found in this book.
