No. 44, the mysterious stranger : being an ancient tale found in a jug and freely translated from the jug / Mark Twain ; foreword and notes by John S. Tuckey ; text established by William M. Gibson and the staff of the Mark Twain Project.

This is the only authoritative text of this late novel. It reproduces the manuscript which Mark Twain wrote last, and the only one he finished or called the "The Mysterious Stranger." Albert Bigelow Paine's edition of the same name has been shown to be a textual fraud.
