'The Stolen White Elephant' is a funny and satirical short story, following the investigations of Inspector Blunt when a pale pachyderm is stolen. Gifted from a king to a queen, the ship carrying the eponymous elephant stops at a harbour in New Jersey and goes missing. In this tale, Twain expertly parodies police investigative procedures, as forces fail to share information and a horribly expensive manhunt – or should that be 'elephant-hunt' – is launched. A laugh-out-loud read from the pen of one of the masters, 'The Stolen White Elephant' is sure to delight readers familiar with Twain's body of work. -
