Description: The Stolen White Elephant Etc. by Mark Twain Hardcover published in Boston by James R. Osgood and Company, 1882. First edition. Anthology of eighteen short stories "with the titular tale centered around a detective mystery involving a Siamese white elephant meant as a gift for the Queen of Britain. This elephant mysteriously vanishes in New Jersey, leading the local police on a wild chase to uncover its whereabouts." Condition: Very good. Ex-library copy with antique library bookplate to front pastedown and oval library stamp at bottom of title page. Very faint previous owner's inscription to FFEP. Glue and paper residue at top and bottom of rear pastedown (likely the remains of a card envelope since removed). Penciled bookshop notation to rear pastedown.
