"Bagombo Snuff Box" is an assortment of short stories written by Kurt Vonnegut published in 1999. The book contains previously published, but uncollected short fiction that did not appear in Vonnegut's previous collection, "Welcome to the Monkey House". Though almost all the stories were initially written and published in the 1950s, for this collection, Vonnegut re-wrote three stories with which he had been dissatified. These rewritten stories include "The Powder Blue Dragon" and "Hal Irwin's Magic Lamp".
