About the author

Mark Twain

1835–1910 · Victorian

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), born in Florida, Missouri, and raised in Hannibal on the Mississippi. He was a printer, a river pilot, a prospector and a journalist in Nevada and California before The Celebrated Jumping Frog (1865) and The Innocents Abroad (1869) made his name. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), Life on the Mississippi (1883), Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and A Connecticut Yankee (1889) followed. He lectured around the world to recover from bankruptcy in the 1890s and died in Connecticut.
