Out of Hannibal

About the Book

The door to the penthouse opened and there she was, the glittering star, Mae West, saying in her most seductive voice, “Come on in, boys.” She is one of many vivid personalities in “Out Of Hannibal.” There is the Duchess of Devonshire and a picnic with Jackie Kennedy and a “Mona Lisa” on the Riviera. And there is always the influence of Mark Twain.

About the Author

When I was a girl, growing up in Odessa, Russia, I read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The stories Mark Twain told me made me feel that I knew Hannibal, its streets and alleyways, the river and the cave. I shared the adventures of Tom and Huck and Becky. And now, reading “Out Of Hannibal,” I feel that I am back in that storybook town, meeting old friends and having wonderful times. Rosalie Pompushko, M.D.
