Title: Nook Farm
Description: Nook Farm is the first book to study in detail the background, associations, and accomplishments of Mark Twain's greatest and happiest period, the 20 years, 1871-1891, which he spent in Hartford, CT. Nook Farm acquired its distinctive personality during and after the Civil War when Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Dudley Warner, and Mark Twain settled there. Its people were leaders in city and church and state to a degree that modern Hartford has forgotten. But Nook Farm led also a full and happy life of its own, which Mr. Andrews depicts in accurate and vivid detail. -- Publisher description
