Bringing together 38 tales and sketches, «The 30 000 Dollar Bequest and Other Stories» provides a rare long view of Twain's work, covering virtually his entire career, from «Advice to Young Girls» (a spoof that appeared in 1865, just months before he achieved national acclaim for his «Jumping Frog» tale), to the title story, written in 1904.

Cyril, Anthea, Robert and Jane are “the sort of people that wonderful things happen to.” And the children have yet more adventures ahead of them. Following up on “Five Children and It” and “The Phoenix and the Carpet”, they once again meet the wish-granting Psammead fairy. This time, he guides them to an ancient Amulet that will help them find their hearts' desire, but it is only half an amulet, and the search for the other half will have them whizzing about through time.
