Editorial Reviews
“With his series of humorous memoirs, Twain made himself one of the most beloved characters of American literature. In Life on the Mississippi, he combined an entertaining coming-of-age story with a late homecoming journal. Together they revealed great changes within the author and in our country’s heartland.” —Library Journal
“The author’s wicked wit, enduring seductiveness, and flat-out subversiveness continues to captivate audiences in each new generation.” —New York Times, praise for the author
