The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine by Mark Twain, Philip C. Stead, and Erin Stead


America’s greatest storyteller isn’t finished yet. Culled from notes in an archive scribbled down after some particularly good bedtime stories for his daughters, Philip and Erin Stead have brought to life a lost Mark Twain tale. Complete with talking animals, mad kings, and magic seeds, this story is sure to satisfy the young and put a smile on the face of the old. Though the story is for children, Twain does not spare us his trademark wit and social commentary.
