"Hello,Huck!" R ECALL that golden day when you first read "Huck Finn"? How your mother said, "For good ness' sake, stop laughing aloud over that book. You sound so silly." But you couldn't stop laughing. Today when you read "Huckleberry Finn" you will not la"gh so much. You will chuckle often, but you will also want to weep. The deep humanity of it-the pathos, that you never saw as a boy, will appeal to you now. You were too busy laughing to notice the limpid purity of the master's style. MARK TWAIN 25 Volumes Perhaps you think you have read a good deal of Mark Twain. Are you sure? Have you read all the novels? Have you read all the short stories? Have you read all the brilliant fighting essays?-all the humorous ones and the historical ones? Think of it-2 5 volumes filled with the laughter and the tears and the fighting that made Mark Twain so wonderful. He was a bountiful giver of joy and humor. He was yet much more, for, while he laughed with the world, his lonely spirit struggled with the sadness of human life, and sought to find the key. Beneath the laughter is a big human soul, a big philosopher.
