Title: Mark Twain and me
Description: "Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Dorothy Quick met aboard the S.S. Minnetonka in 1907. He was seventy-two years old, she almost eleven. The two began a great friendship that would endure until his death some years later. Dorothy became a frequent houseguest of Twain's, both at his Tuxedo Park home, in New York City, and in Redding, Connecticut. Her recollections of life in those places dispel the image of a man bitter and pessimistic in his later years, revealing him instead as warm and fun-loving.

Together they read his stories, which she knew well and loved, and he encouraged her to write, forming the "Authors' League for Two.""--BOOK JACKET.
