An unwelcome guest appears as Mark Twain prepares to host his dear Aunt Marys annual visit. Straightaway the guest begins exposing and attacking Mr. Twains character. But Mr. Twain refuses to be shamed by the likes of this scaly, unwelcome intruder, so he immediately joins an all-out contest of wits and insults. Follow the battle royal as it plays out and see its wild aspects displayed through the wickedly original minds-eye of illustrator Marc Johnson-Pencook.
