Dear Ms Dorman: I'm not a twain scholar, so there may be something out there, though I have not seen it. I believe once, in surfing Amazon.com, I stumbled on a mystery novel in which Twain was a detective with a famous Englishman as a partner, but I have no way of tracking it down, if in fact my memory is not betraying me. A name, the way, I have not seen mentioned in the Forum discussions of MT impersonators is David Grant, a former schoolmaster in Vermont and presently executive director of a New Jersey foundation. David is extremely good. I have been working on a novel about a fictitious Sam Clemens and double(?) fictitious Huch Finn growing up together in Hannibal after Huck returns from his trip down the Mississippi. I'd be happy to send you a sample if it would be useful. Best wishes david hoopes >From: Susan Dorman <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Mark Twain Forum <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Twain impersonators >Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 08:49:18 -0500 > >--Apple-Mail-1-119627559 >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Content-Type: text/plain; > charset=US-ASCII; > format=flowed > >Hello, I'm new to the list, and, seeing the thread on Twain >impersonators, thought I would ask a question in a similar vein.
