MARK TWAIN

Mark Twain, the pen name of Samuel Clemens, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer. He is renowned for his wit, satire, and insightful observations of American society. Twain’s childhood experiences in Hannibal, Missouri, heavily influenced his writing, particularly evident in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. His writing style is characterized by realism, humor, and a deep understanding of human nature.
The novel captures the essence of boyhood through Tom’s playful pranks, thrilling escapades, and the camaraderie he shares with his friends, Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn.

                                              Some Episodes Include:
