Twain Illustrated: Three Stories by Mark Twain, is a collection of classic Mark Twain stories, illustrated by Marc Johnson-Pencook. All three stories, Emerson, Holmes, and Longfellow, The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut, and Running for Governor, show why Mark Twain is recognized as the master of wild, American humor. But unbelievably, when Twain teams with modern-classic illustrator Marc Johnson-Pencook, the humor grows wilder yet. From a distraught miner hosting literary imposters in Emerson, Holmes, and Longfellow, to Twain himself badgered by an intruder in Carnival of Crime , to Twain abused by the press in Running for Governor, Marc the artist displays his own brand of mastery depicting all the outrageous scenes that shape each Twain story. Forty-three of his pen & ink illustrations are interspersed throughout this collection, which is respectfully adapted and illustrated to capture and hold the attention of modern-day, middle-school readers. But these stories are not just for that young group! Modern-day young adults and elders admire illustrated literature too, especially when Mark Twain tells stories that generate the wildly-imagined images Johnson-Pencook renders. All these readers will be happy to discover that Mark the author and Marc the illustrator work perfectly well together, almost as if they share the same mind across the decades.
