“The Story of the Bad Little Boy Who Didn’t Come to Grief” (1865): The title says it all. Twain wanted to contrast the child in his story to typical Sunday School stories where dire consequences occurred to the main characters.

The current fixation with ‘fake news’ has reminded me of Mark Twain’s famous quote (or should I say misquote?) that “reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
