A fun collection of ingenious quizzes and puzzles which draw on the ''The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'', its sequel, ''The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' and other well-loved works of Mark Twain, ''the father of American literature''.
Drawing on the The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Mark Twains other best-known books, the ingenious quizzes and puzzles in this fun collection will test your memory of the writer described by Faulkner as the father of American literature.
Born Samuel Langhorn Clemens in 1835, in Hannibal, Missouri, Mark Twain, as a result of his fathers death, had to leave school at the age of twelve to earn his living. He worked as an apprentice to a printer, prospected unsuccessfully for gold, then left for South America to make his fortune.
All the answers are to be found in the pages of Twains best known published work. The name games require the names of characters to be given to reveal a final name, while each crossword puzzle relies on quotations from one of Twains works. The wordsearch puzzles explore various themes in his writing.
All the answers are given at the back of the book, but elusive answers will hopefully encourage you to reread The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn of which Hemingway said, All Modern American literature comes from [this] one book and all Twains other works.
