Description

1876 1st ed Mark Twain Old Times on the Mississippi St Louis Missouri Toronto

“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

― Mark Twain

Mark Twain and his works were immensely popular all on their own. Such notable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn stood out above other 19th-century literary characters, and not just in the United States. One of his lesser-known works is ‘Old Times on the Mississippi’ which was later incorporated into his much more famous work ‘Life on the Mississippi’. This 1876 first edition was published in Toronto.
