A witty and satirical novella by the famous American author Mark Twain. The plot revolves around a young girl named Baby Van Rensselaer who is left a fortune by her late father, John Cecil Clayton. However, there are complications: Clayton's will stipulates that Baby's inheritance depends on her solving a mystery surrounding a buried treasure, with the aid of her loyal servant, a deaf mute named Huck Finn. The story is a clever parody of the detective fiction genre, and Twain's sharp humor and skillful writing make for an entertaining read.
