Her mother passed away when she was two, and her father, busy with his business, left her on the island to be raised by her grandparents. The beautiful and magnificent natural environment nurtured her wild imagination and creativity, which later manifested as strong poetic expressions in her works. Mark Twain An American writer, renowned humorist, and lecturer. With his wit, humor, and fame, he is considered one of America's most recognizable figures. He grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, a traditional Southern town on the banks of the Mississippi River, America's largest river. His masterpieces, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," are set in his hometown. The exciting adventures of Tom and his companions are a microcosm of rural childhood life and are representative novels of 19th-century America. The boy "Tom" has become synonymous with mischievousness. Conan Doyle A British detective novelist and physician. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh Medical School, Doyle practiced medicine in Plymouth. However, his practice was not very successful, so he turned to writing. His first detective novel, "A Study in Scarlet," featuring Sherlock Holmes, was published in 1887 and was so well-received that he went on to write fifty-six short stories and four novels about the detective. Doyle uses the perspective of Dr. Watson in his books to depict Holmes's thrilling and dramatic detective life, leading readers step by step through the truth of judicial justice in a documentary-like writing style. Jean Webster An American writer from a distinguished family. Growing up immersed in the company of her grandmother, who was passionate about advocating for racial equality and women's suffrage, she was deeply influenced from an early age. In college, she took courses in welfare and penal reform, actively participated in public affairs, fought for the rights of disadvantaged groups, and showed concern for juvenile delinquency and homeless children. These experiences and observations were woven into her writings, providing ample material for her later famous works, such as "When Patty Goes to College," "Daddy-Long-Legs," and its sequel, "Dear Enemy."
