Summary
Everyone knows the story of the raft on the Mississippi and that ol' whitewashed fence, but now its time for youngins everywhere to get right acquainted with the man behind the pen. Mr. Mark Twain! An interesting character, he was...even if he did sometimes get all gussied up in linen suits and even if he did make it rich and live in a house with so many tiers and gazebos that it looked like a weddin cake. All thats a little too proper and hog tied for our narrator, Huckleberry Finn, but no one is more right for the job of telling this picture book biography than Huck himself. (Were so glad he would oblige.) And, hell tell you one thingthat Mr. Twain was a piece a work! Famous for his sense of humor and saying exactly whats on his mind, a real satirist he wasperhaps Americas greatest. Ever. True to Hucks voice, this picture book biography is a river boat ride into the life of a real American treasure.

The Adventures of Mark Twain by Huckleberry Finn
Written by Robert Burleigh and illustrated by Barry Blitt
(Atheneum; ISBN: 9780689830419; March 2011; Spring catalog p. 27)
Hot on the heels of Susy Clemens, in Barbara Kerleys The Extraordinary Mark Twain (According to Susy), BCCB 3/10, comes a rival Mark Twain child biographer, of sortsHuckleberry Finn himself. With Burleighs, ahem, editorial assistance, Huck recreates his creator, one might say, in his own homespun voice: Sam tried soldierin. But it didnt take. There wasnt much sand in his craw for killin people. And . . . he was very unfavorable to bein killed hisself. Huck not only effectively and wittily conveys the basics of his literary fathers life, but he also displays an excellent grasp of the critiques addressed to Twains work by both contemporaries and later generations: Before I came along, most folks wouldnt pay no attention to a story bout a no-account boy. . . . And they wouldnt like that my words aint always presented in the Kings English. Huck is assisted in his authorial debut by Barry Blitt, whose spidery line-and-watercolor paintings echo the fluid ink work of Robert Andrew Parker and the spot-on caricature of John Hendrix. Our author admits he left a lot out, but he slyly puts responsibility for any of his works shortcomings on Twain himself: I coulda throwed more style into it, but I cant do that very handy, not being brought up to it. Fortunately, his editor supplies additional data in an appended note, and as to stylewell, I reckon most kidsll think he done just fine.
