About the author

Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1861, Albert Bigelow Paine became an American author and biographer whose writing ranged across fiction, humor, poetry, travel, and books for children. He is most closely associated with Mark Twain, whose life and work he chronicled in the major multi-volume Mark Twain: A Biography.

Paine also created the popular Hollow Tree stories for young readers and wrote books drawn from his travels and outdoor experiences, including The Tent Dwellers. Alongside his writing career, he served as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Committee.

He died in 1937. Today he is remembered both for preserving an important picture of Mark Twain’s world and for a body of writing that shows curiosity, energy, and an easygoing narrative charm.
