Mark Twain for Cat Lovers

America is cat crazy, and Mark Twain may have been the American writer most crazy about cats. From his boyhood in Hannibal, Missouri, to his last years in Connecticut, Mark Twain spent much of his life surrounded by cats, and they stalk through many of his best-known books, including The Innocents Aboard, Roughing It, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court, and Puddnhead Wilson. In this lighthearted book, Twain scholar Mark Dawidziak explores the writers lifelong devotion to cats through stories, excerpts, quotes, photos, and illustrations, illuminating a little-known side of this famous writers life that will appeal to Twain aficionados and cat lovers alike.
