About this eBook
Mark Twain's novels are filled with humor, wit, and astounding insight into the world of the 19th-century United States. Written entirely in the vernacular, these classic satirical tales exposed the bigotry and hypocrisy of American life. The cheerful Tom Sawyer, the goodnatured Huck Finn, the independent Hank Morgan, and the well-meaning Tom Canty are quintessential Twain characters, full of life, verve, and a sense of justice they often felt was missing from the world around them.
Included in this collection are four of his greatest and most popular novels: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and The Prince and the Pauper. They are the perfect introduction to the work of one of America's foremost talents.

About the author
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), better known as Mark Twain, grew up in small town Missouri where he could see the steamboats navigating the great river every day. As a young man, he was frequently on the move, working as a typesetter, as an apprentice to a riverboat captain, and eventually as a reporter during the Civil War. During this time, he developed a distinctive writing style. His publication of "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" in 1865 brought him national attention. His writing always possessed a touch of humor, sometimes gentle, sometimes bitter. In 1876, he turned his mind back to the pleasant days of his childhood as he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, both a classic humorous story of the exploits of a mischievous boy and an exposé of contemporary American society. Since then, his fame has only increased.
