Here he turns his mind to the daily life he shared with his wife Livy, their three daughters, a great many servants, and an imposing array of pets. These first-hand accounts display this gifted and loving family in the period of its flourishing. Mark Twain began to write "A Family Sketch" in response to the early death of his eldest daughter, Susy, but the manuscript grew under his hands to become an exuberant account of the entire household. His record of the childrens' sayings-"Small Foolishnesses"-is next, followed by the related manuscript "At the Farm." Also included are selections from Livy's 1885 diary and an authoritative edition of Susy's biography of her father, written when she was a teenager. Newly edited from the original manuscripts, this anthology is a unique record of a fascinating family.   606 $aAuthors, American$y19th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors, American 676 $a818/.409 700 $aTwain$b Mark$f1835-1910,$027404 702 $aClemens$b Olivia Langdon$f1845-1904, 702 $aClemens$b Susy$f1872-1896, 702 $aGriffin$b Benjamin$f1968- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458757403321 996 $aA family sketch and other private writings$92476698 997 $aUNINA
