The American Claimant by Mark Twain

A comic satire in which a brash American lays claim to an English inheritance, setting off a chain of mistaken identities, legal wrangling and social role‑swapping; through farce, practical jokes and sharp dialogue the story skewers class pretensions, transatlantic snobbery and the absurdities of law, wealth and social standing.
