Splendid Libraries: Mark Twain’s Library

Mark Twain is one of those people it is almost impossible not to like.  Even if you aren’t wild about his novels, he seems like the kind of person you would like to know.  He was a product of the Victorian world, but he seemed too forward thinking for that era. After more than a hundred years, his sense of humor still seems remarkably fresh.  Also, I love the rambling nature of his house.

Do you see the circular glassed-in room on the front of his house?  That is his library!  Let’s have a closer look, shall we?

I love the abundance of natural light and the comfortable seating.  It is easy to imagine the great man curled up in here while he read. What I don’t know is if this is the room where he did his writing.  The nice big library table in the center of the room certainly looks conducive to writing, but if anyone knows for sure, I’d love to hear about it.
