Марк Твен родился в штате Миссури в Соединенных Штатах Америки в 1835 году. Его отец был неудачливым юристом. Семья редко жила в одном и том же городе более 1-2 лет.

В 1857 году он стал лоцманом, плавая по реке Миссисипи и продолжал писать.

Марк Твен написал еще много других книг, но всемирную известность ему принесли его романы о Томе Сойере я Гекльберри Финне. Настоящее имя Марка Твена было Сэмюэль Клеменс.
