Filled with the remarkable wit and humor of America's favorite
storyteller, A Mark Twain Christmas gives readers insight into
Twain's life through little known stories about how he and his
family celebrated this treasured holiday. "If my boot should leave
a stain on the marble...leave it there always in memory of my
visit...and let it remind you to be a good little girl." When
Market Twain penned this enchanting letter from "Your loving Santa
Claus" to his daughter Susy in 1875, a holiday tradition was born
inside the Twain family home. And while Twain is celebrated as the
sharpest satirist in American letters, he always had a soft spot
for Christmas. A Mark Twain Christmas is in turns charming,
heartwarming, and heartbreaking, and it ultimately reaffirms the
magic of the Christmas spirit. Looking in on three holiday seasons
with Twain, we learn more about the man than we ever knew before,
and we discover fascinations from gifted elephants to burglar
letters to Santa's bootprints. But most of all, we regain an
understanding of what is most important in our own lives, and that
is the greatest gift of the Christmas season.
