Everyone knows the story of the raft on the Mississippi and that ol' whitewashed fence, but now itâs time for youngins everywhere to get right acquainted with the man behind the pen. Mr. Mark Twain! An interesting character, he was...even if he did sometimes get all gussied up in linen suits and even if he did make it rich and live in a house with so many tiers and gazebos that it looked like a weddinâ cake. All thatâs a little too proper and hog tied for our narrator, Huckleberry Finn, but no one is more right for the job of telling this picture book biography than Huck himself. (Weâre so glad he would oblige.) And, heâll tell you one thingâthat Mr. Twain was a piece a work! Famous for his sense of humor and saying exactly whatâs on his mind, a real satirist he wasâperhaps Americaâs greatest. Ever. True to Huckâs voice, this picture book biography is a river boat ride into the life of a real American treasure.
