About the Author:

Renowned American novelist, critic, and champion of literary realism. A versatile writer, Howells penned novels, poetry, travelogues, essays and pieces of literary criticism. His writings stand out for his vivid impressionism and realistic portrayal of life.

From Library Journal:

Howells and Twain were pals for 40 years. In 1910, Howells published this collection of anecdotes and observations about his friend gleaned from firsthand experience. The book also includes Howells's reviews of several of Twain's books. A pleasant sojourn for Twain fans.
