You clearly haven't read much Twain.
-A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court
-What Stumped The Blue Jays
-Journalism In Tennessee
-Tom Quartz
-The Diary of Adam and Eve
-Extract From Captain Stormfield's Visit To Heaven
-Cecil Rhodes And The Shark
-A Horse's Tale
Loads more. In fact, I think a case could be made that Twain's stories (when not more or less autobiographical) are more likely to be fantastical than not.
