Author Biography:

Mark Twain (1835-1910), born Samuel Clemens, was an American writer who grew up in the small river town of Hannibal, Missouri. The midwestern setting would inspire two of his most celebrated works--The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Prior to becoming a novelist, Twain held multiple jobs including typesetter, gold miner and steamboat pilot. His first literary success came in 1865 with the publication of the short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” As an author and lecturer, Twain was one of the most active and popular figures of his time.
