Everyone knows the story of the raft on the Mississippi and that ol' whitewashed fence, and now it's time for young 'uns everywhere to get acquainted with the man behind the pen. Mark Twain, famous for his sense of humor and saying exactly what was on his mind, remains one of America's greatest satirists, and his life history is as interesting as any of his fictional tales—especially when told from the perspective of one of Twain's most memorable characters, Huckleberry Finn. True to Huck's voice, this picture book biography is a riverboat ride through the life of a real American treasure.
