Google Doodle Celebrates Mark Twain’s 176th Birthday

Today is the 176th birthday of Mark Twain’s. Google is celebrated this occasion with a nice doodle which depicts a famous scene from one of Twain’s most famous novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Samuel Langhorne Clemens who is better known by his pen name Mark Twain was born on November 30, 1835.

Mark Twain was an American author and humorist. He is most noted for his novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called “The Great American Novel.”  The two novels are his most famous works and count among America’s best-loved tales.

The scene from Tom Sawyer chosen by Google to celebrate the anniversary of his creator’s birth sees Tom painting the fence as punishment by Aunt Polly for dirtying his clothes in a fight with a boy from St Louis.
