McAvoy Layne is the Ghost of Mark Twain

For 20 years now, in over two thousand performances from Leningrad University in Russia to C-Span, McAvoy Layne has survived, and in fact been preeminent, in preserving the wit and wisdom of "The Wild Humorist of the Pacific Slope" -- Mark Twain.

Says McAvoy, "It's like being a Monday through Friday preacher, whose sermon, though not reverently pious, is fervently American."

McAvoy is author of the soon to be published, Becoming Mark Twain, and winner of the Nevada award for excellence in school and library service. He portrays the Ghost of Mark Twain in A&E's biography of Mark Twain and in the Discovery Channel's Cronkite Award winning documentary, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
