Eve's Dairy

Thanks to a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire question, I heard about this lovely little Mark Twain short-story titled "Eve's Diary." And though every detail of the first woman may not be entirely accurate, it is a wonderful little story, filled with fantastic pen & ink illustrations!

You can download it as a free ebook from Google! Here's a link: Eve's Diary

Some time after Mark Twain wrote Eve's Diary, he wrote one for Adam too, mostly focusing on their first child. But I didn't enjoy it nearly as much. It tries too hard at being humorous, and just doesn't have the same charm.

But here's a link to the free ebook if you want to check it out anyway: Adam's Diary
