Yours Truly, Huck Finn

ADVENTURES
OF
HUCKLEBERRY FINN
(Tom Sawyer's Comrade)

By Mark Twain

A book titled Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by an author who wrote under the pen name Mark Twain, was first published (in England) on this date in 1884. It is widely considered to be the greatest work of American literature ever written.
"So there ain't nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of it, because if I'd a knowed what a trouble it was to make a book I wouldn't a tackled it, and ain't a-going to no more. But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before."
