Faded & Shady: A Pair Of Jaded Pegs ............"Huckleberry Rockwell"............


With  Explanation From "Author" 
_____________________________________________________________________________________














____________________________________________________________________________


With Explanation From Blogiverio... 
____________________________________________________________________________




Every edition of  HUCKLEBERRY FINN
is prefaced by  the Notice
and the Explanation

"The Author," of course, is MARK TWAIN

No other author would dare begin a book
by threatening to shoot the reader

This is the only known edition
to have an illustration of a gun
above the Notice 

The illustrator is NORMAN ROCKWELL















All modern American literature 
comes from one book 
by Mark Twain called 
Huckleberry Finn.
Ernest Hemingway



























Like the first images on this page,
the last image is faded & shady.

But here is where the adventures
of Huckleberry Finn
actually begin.















The next Mark Twain page is here.

The next Norman Rockwell page is here.

    1. The family tree
      blooms with mystery

      But only during crystal rain
      is there a branch for Mark Twain
