One of the best known American writers is Samuel Langhorne Clemens, whose pen
name is Mark Twain. Born in 1855, Twain grew up in the Mississippi River town of
Hannibal, Missouri. As did many other boys of his day, Twain dreamed of traveling
on riverboats and of someday becoming a riverboat pilot. Twain used his memories
of
the
life
of
a
river
town
in
his
two
most
famous
books,
the
Adventures
of
Huckleberry
Finn
and
the Adventures of Tom Sawyer
.
As a young man Twain held many jobs. He was a printer, a gold miner, and for
a time, he was a riverboat pilot. During his pilot days, he adopted the name Mark
Twain.
This
was
a
term
used
by
the
boatmen
to
mean
that
the
water
measured
two
fathoms,
or twelve feet, which was deep enough for safe passage.
Finally
Twain
became
a
successful
writer.
He
traveled
a
great
deal,
writing
and
speaking, and became very popular both in the United States and in Europe.
Twain's
style
of
writing
was
simple
and
direct.
Among
the
things
he
wrote
about
were superstitious people and people who were easily fooled. He used his unusual
gift for humor to write about many things of importance.

When Charles Dickens was a small boy, he was sent by his parents to work in
a boot-blacking factory. His parents had other children and many debts to pay.

Charles's
father
was
put
into
prison
for
his
debts.
The
boy
tried
to
raise
money
enough to get him out but was unsuccessful. At last, the whole family went to live
with
Charles's
father
in
his
room
in
the
Marsalsea
prison.
This
was
a
common
practice
and, while the prisoner could not leave the grounds, the families could go in and

the
world
with
its
clearest
picture

long-ago days.
