Mark Twain’s Full True Story Can Now Be Told!

“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend.
Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read!”

Samuel Clemens, who we know as Mark Twain, made sure that his full life story would not be told for 100 years after his death.   And in 1910, the rumors of the death of Mark Twain were no longer an exaggeration.

The most exciting events of his life happened before he had his 26th birthday, and Mark Twain, America’s Greatest Story Teller, didn’t write about many of them.
 
He was sworn to keep mum…
 
Conveyed with irony, the freshly edited Adventures of Mark Twain books explore the time when Sam was a teenager & 20 something, in the 1850s and 60s. It turns out he was an American Hero years before Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn, and the role that Sam played for America was important for our country to mature into the greatest democracy the world has ever seen.
 

These books tell what has been kept from the public.

The exciting, true-life story of how a fifth-grade dropout from a frontier town on the Mississippi, who was rejected as a reporter for the newspapers in New York when he was 17 because of his colloquial speech and creative spelling, became America’s greatest Man of Letters.
 
The background and details of his relationships with some of the amazing people of his time can finally be relayed to the public as well. The stories are told with a sense of irony and MT’s signature, sarcastic wit.

Adventures of Mark Twain books make the rumors of his death seem like an exaggeration in new ways!

The Mark Twain Valentine’s Special Audiobook tells stories of the love triangle between the first three on that list that were kept from the public for over 160 years, at the insistence of Mark Twain.
