To be reduced to a raft after hoping to sail a Viking Ship would be a let-down for The Neat Little Bookshop if it were not
Huck Finn's raft! Hemingway once said that Mark Twain's
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was the best book ever written.
Author Mark Twain wrote:
"Ours is a useful trade, a worthy calling: with all its lightness and frivolity it has serious purpose, one aim, one specialty, and it is constant to it ~ the deriding of shams, the exposure of pretentious falsities, the laughing of stupid superstitions out of existence; and that whoso is by instinct engaged in this sort of warfare is the natural enemy of royalties, nobilities, privileges and all kindred swindles, and the natural friend of human rights and human liberties."
