His career encompassed such varied occupations as printer, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist, travel writer, and publisher, which furnished him with a wide knowledge of humanity and the perfect grasp of local customs and speech manifested in his writing. It wasn't until \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn \u003c\/i\u003e(1885), that he was recognized by the literary establishment as one of the greatest writers America would ever produce. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Toward the end of his life, plagued by personal tragedy and financial failure, Twain grew more and more cynical and pessimistic. Though his fame continued to widen--Yale and Oxford awarded him honorary degrees--he spent his last years in gloom and desperation, but he lives on in American letters as \"the Lincoln of our literature.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzanne Fisher Staples\u003c\/b\u003e is the Newbery Honor author of \u003ci\u003eShabanu, Daughter of the Wind.\u003c\/i\u003e She lives in Pennsylvania.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aladdin Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44704320323699,"sku":"9781416928058","price":10.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_d0da83ce-b403-4809-b131-7ddc0ccb5d0b.jpg?v=1775567187","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-prince-and-the-pauper-9781416928058","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
