In chronicling the last three-and-a-half years of Twain's long life, Pulitzer Prize-nominated biographer Shelden (michaelshelden.com) taps not just into the most richly documented period of Twain's life but also into a period involving more drama, turmoil, and adventure than one might imagine possible for a subject in his seventies. Shelden marvelously brings those years to life, placing them in perspective with frequent comments on earlier events. Hundreds of books about Twain have been written, particularly in 2010, the centennial anniversary of his death, but none brings audiences closer to feeling in his presence, especially as narrated by Andrew Garman. An ideal biography for this format; highly recommended. [See also Autobiography of Mark Twain, p. 51.—Ed.]—R. Kent Rasmussen, Thousand Oaks, CA
