America's Best Humorist

In addition to writing articles and books, Mark Twain delighted
audiences with his public lectures about the far-flung locations
he visited on his travels.
People were eager to learn about his trips to then-exotic places, such as the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii), Egypt and the Holy Land. Twain often used the fees he earned with his lectures to pay for additional adventures. His well-attended performances also served to bring attention to his published work. At a time when the public lecture was a very popular form of entertainment, and audiences' expectations ran high, Twain never failed to amuse. | |

In 1889, Twain took on another establishment -- British royalty.
He wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, about a boy
who travels back to the time of King Arthur.
Twain made fun of those who were given advantages not because they had earned them but because of their family connections. If you have never read any of Mark Twain's works, try reading A Connecticut Yankee, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, or The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. They will make you laugh. | |
