About the author

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, born November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri. Before becoming a celebrated writer, he worked as a printer, newspaper journalist, and Mississippi River steamboat pilot—the source of the riverboat term that inspired his famous pen name. He died on April 21, 1910, in Redding, Connecticut.

Twain became one of America’s best-known humorists, lecturers, and authors. His major works include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Innocents Abroad, and Life on the Mississippi. His lively humor, vivid sense of place, and willingness to challenge social injustice made him a defining voice in American literature.
