The Mont Blanc Mark Twain Writing Set is dedicated to Mark Twain, considered the founder of Modern American literature. This set comes with a medium nibbed fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and a mechanical pencil.
Driven by his observant eye, fierce sense of humor and clever wit, his works were socially critical yet entertaining novels and short stories which inspired and amused generations of readers. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, published in 1884, became his ultimate masterpiece and secured his worldwide reputation as a literary genius. The Montblanc Limited Writers Edition Mark Twain celebrates his Southern roots, apparent in many of his works. The design of the writing instrument is inspired by the river that had a lasting influence on Twain and his work. With its timeless, classic design, the Mark Twain is a worthy tribute to the life and work of a great literary icon.
