Book Review of Never the Twain

Never the Twain
reviewed on + 51 more book reviews


This book has an amusing premise. A descendant of Bret Harte travels back in time to help Sam Clemens keep his silver strike, leaving the literary field open and ensuring that his ancestor will be the leading literary light of the age. I enjoyed it somewhat; and that was in 1987. Ive not been moved to read it since.
