Mark Twain is best known for Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, stories of childhood that have enthralled readers around the world.
But now, 100 years after his death, comes a chance to know Twain better.
This November, the full text of his autobiography is going to be published for the first time, and an excerpt from it has just appeared in the British magazine Granta.
Harriett spoke to the editor of Granta, John Freeman, and Bob Hirst, who looks after Mark Twain's papers at the University of California Berkeley.
