Who Was Mark Twain?Illustrated by John O'Brien
Penguin/Grosset & Dunlap A humorist, narrator, and social observer, Mark Twain is unsurpassed in American literature. Best known as the author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, not unlike his protagonist, Huck, has a restless spirit. He found adventure prospecting for silver in Nevada, navigating steamboats down the Mississippi, and making people laugh around the world. But Twain also had a serious streak and decried racism and injustice. His fascinating life is captured candidly in this enjoyable chapter-book biography. • Also available in Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged Click here or on the cover below to download Penguin's Who Was...? guide to Common Core lesson plans for books in the series about famous writers.
