Happy Birthday, Mark Twain and Jonathan Swift
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 11.30.07 | 10:46 AM ET
Heard on the radio this morning that Mark Twain and Jonathan Swift, creators of the World Hum’s No. 7 and No. 6 greatest fictional travelers respectively, share a birthday today. Twain was born on this day in Missouri in 1835; Swift was born in Dublin in 1667. While in Ireland last week, I saw an early 19th century edition of “Gulliver’s Travels” at the Dublin Writers Musuem. The page in the photograph was surreptitiously taken there.
