Mark Twain believed in the supernatural, apparitions, and loved a Catholic Saint.
Mark Twain, to the surprise of almost everyone, wrote a book, a
biography no less, about the life and times of Joan of Arc. The book
is call the "Personal Recollections of Joan of Ark" and astonishingly
he called this virtually unknown volume his "best and favorite
work".
Author Randel Sullivan told us recently in an e-mail
"Thanks for your letter regarding my book, The Miracle Detective. I was
simultaneously stirred and chagrined by what you wrote about Mark Twain
and his Joan of Arc book. I have to admit that I was among those who
did not know that Twain had authored such a book, let alone that he
considered it his most important work."
