About the Author:
"Samuel Langhorne Clemens... better known by the pen name
Mark Twain, was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and
writer. Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn, which has since been called the Great
American Novel, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also
known for his quotations. During his lifetime, Clemens became a
friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and
European royalty.
Clemens enjoyed immense public popularity, and his keen wit
and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics and
peers. American author William Faulkner called Twain 'the
father of American literature.'"
