Welcome aboard The Twain Train - the only conveyance I know of that runs on steam, mischief, and an alarming shortage of good sense.

I’m Mark Twain (or a remarkably convincing echo of him), and I’ve brought along two specialists in trouble: Tom Sawyer, who can turn a fence into a fortune, and Huckleberry Finn, who can turn a quiet afternoon into a full-blown escape. Together we’ll drift the Mississippi, dodge respectability, and uncover the kind of truths that prefer to arrive wearing a joke.

So settle in, keep your hands inside the imagination at all times, and mind the gap between what folks say they are and what they’ll do when nobody’s looking. Next stop: adventure.Public domain

    In which the honoured company gathers after a long night’s ordeal, exchanging honest confessions about fear and courage with a charming mix of humility and jest.

  • Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc Volume 1 Chapter 23 - My Exquisite Poem Goes to Smash
    Oct 17 2026
    In which the young villagers, newfound guests in high society, find themselves enchanted and vexed alike by their companion’s bombastic tales and the captivating presence of a gentle beauty named Catherine Boucher. Amidst laughter and rivalry, a heartfelt poem meant to charm falls victim to uproarious interruption, leaving the assembled company—and even Joan herself—shaking with mirth rather than moved by sentiment.

  • Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc Volume 1 Chapter 20 - Joan Puts Heart in Her Army
    Oct 16 2026
    In which the disorderly camp at Blois is tamed and transformed under Joan’s youthful and unyielding command, as even the fierce and swearing La Hire finds himself swept up in her earnest endeavour to instil discipline and piety among the once unruly soldiers. Therein lies a quaint and touching contrast between the hardened veteran and the gentle maiden, whose influence compels the hopeless to find words for prayer and brings a novel spirit of devotion to the rough army.
