In The £1,000,000 Bank-Note, Mark Twain spins a witty and satirical tale about luck, social perception, and the power of wealth. When a penniless American in London is handed a one-million-pound banknote as part of an eccentric bet, he finds himself in a bizarre situation where no one will cash it, yet everyone assumes he is a man of immense fortune. As doors open to him and his life takes an unexpected turn, the story explores how society values money—and those who appear to have it.

Full of Twain’s trademark humor and keen social commentary, The £1,000,000 Bank-Note remains a timeless and entertaining classic. Experience this sharp and amusing tale in an immersive audio adaptation, brought to you by Public Domain Stories.
