Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Eve and Adam

Tiller, Jerome. Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Eve and Adam. 2017. 66p. ISBN 9781939846136. Available at FIC TWA on the library shelves.


If Adam and Eve had kept diaries after their creation, this book shows what they might have said about each other. This book combines two of Mark Twain’s funnier short stories into a package where each individual’s thoughts are presented against what the other is doing. While Eve is busy naming everything, Adam is wondering why she bothers him with her speech all the time. Women being from Venus and Men from Mars, the two of them find it hard to agree on anything, but eventually they realize that they belong together. Illustrations add to the story and provide more details. Fans of humorous texts will find their fill with this short read!
