We’re going to dive into the deep end on the first post here, and explain some of what we do differently here at Quint. Our first book being prepared is Mark Twain’s The Innocents Abroad, which was published in 1869. It might be surprising to many that this book, which many people have never heard of, was Twain’s most popular book during his lifetime. Today we think primarily of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, or other novels like The Prince and the Pauper or A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, but Twain wrote five travel books, of which The Innocents Abroad was his first. This is the book that made Twain famous, and for a number of reasons it is the first book we’ve chosen to come out with in our Essentials edition.
