The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine Hardcover - 2017

by Twain, Mark

  • New

In 1879, Twain began a story for his daughters. He jotted some notes, but never finished the tale. With only Twain's fragmentary script and a story that stops partway as their guide, Caldecott Medalists the Steads imagine what might have been if Twain had fully realized this work. Full color.

About the author

MARK TWAIN (1835-1910), considered one of the greatest writers in American literature, was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri. As a young child, he moved with his family to Hannibal, Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi River, a setting that inspired his two best-known novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain and his wife, Olivia Langdon Clemens, had four children--a son, Langdon, who died as an infant, and three daughters, Susy, Clara, and Jean.
