America's Mark Twain was a little history book primer of Mark Twain's life growing up peppered throughout with excerpts from his books. The great thing about it, it gave some insight into the inspiration behind much of his work and a bit about what made the man tick. It was also amazing to read about one of our countries most popular writers - ever and to read about the famous people he in turn interacted with, all while using his well-known humor and wit.

I laughed out loud a few times reading the book to my son when I was putting him to bed. It was an enjoyable read about one of America's best treasures. ( )
