Great Entry Level Information

I am just a high school student, a junior, actually. I chose to write a biography on Mark Twain because I love his humor. However, I needed a nice afternoon-read book to give me a general idea on Mr. Clemens life. Reading this propelled me into the life of Mark Twain helping to probe all the connections between his personal life, the persona of Samuel Clemens, and his literary works, from the persona of Mark Twain. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the life of the greatest American writer.
