Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist and essayist. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature." His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel." Twain also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894), and co-wrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
I read the whole volume a long time ago. The beautiful blue leather bound cover with the gold text caught my eye. Little did I know at the time the goodies I was soon reading.
This edition contains many of Twain's works, including his most famous novels "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn." Definitely one of my childhood favourites.
My childhood readings of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer did not prepare me for the other writings of Mark Twain. I have now read A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Roughing It, and The Prince and The Pauper. I am currently reading short stories and sketches including The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Everyone should read these again.
This is one of my perpetual books. I don't really intend to finish it...I browse it at my leisure and use it for reference. I have enjoyed all the bits I have read and look forward to all the bits I have not yet read.
I got this book as a kid and loved it, as much as I loved my colelcted Jack London from the same series. It's been ages since I touched it, and I decided to re-read Huck Finn because of the whole censorship issue.
