Mark Twain (that is a pen name for Samuel Langhorne Clemens) life is important because he wrote about his chilhood memories in Hannibal, a small town in Missouri (USA).

Mark Twain lost stories

              

"This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four."  (Mark Twain on April fools' Day published in Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar)

For those of you who have read and enjoyed Tom Sawyer adventures  here you have a picture of Mark Twain in front of his home. We remember him today because some stories written by him have been found just now, it seems that he had given them to his brother and told him "you had better shove this in the stove." because he didn't want things published after his death. Now they will be published in spite of Twain's wish. What would you do? Would you publish a story when its author had told you not to?.A lot of time has passed anyway and although Twain's brother didn't burn the stories, he didn't publish them either.
