About this title

About the Author

Mark Twain is the pen name used by the American author and humorist Samuel Clemens. He was born in 1835 in a small town on the Mississippi, one of seven children. He left school at age 11 and worked at a grocery store, a bookstore, a blacksmith’s shop, and a newspaper, where he was allowed to write his own stories (not all of them true). He then worked on a steamboat, where he got the name “Mark Twain” from the call given by the boat's pilot when their boat was in safe waters. Eventually he turned to journalism again, traveled round the world, and began writing books, which became very popular. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) are his most famous novels. He died in 1910.
