Mark Twain and Me Paperback / softback

Description

Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Dorothy Quick met aboard the S.

S. Minnetonka in 1907. He was seventy-two years old, she almost eleven. The two began a great friendship that would endure until his death some years later.

Dorothy became a frequent houseguest of Twain's, both at his Tuxedo Park home, in New York City, and in Redding Connecticut.

Her recollections of life in those places dispel the image of Twain as a man bitter and pessimistic in his later years, revealing him instead as warm and fun-loving.

Together they read his stories, which she knew well and loved, and he encouraged her to write, forming the ""Author's League for Two.
