Fun and Fantastic Facts

"Coffee News"  is a free, one-page newspaper that can be found in some of the local shops and restaurants around here.  It contains interesting bits of news and trivia which I refer to as fun and fantastic facts!!  I am going to share a fun and fantastic fact with you right now. 


Who was the first writer to submit a typed manuscript to a publisher?


Here is a photo of a bride and groom to break your concentration.



And, here, is the answer.  Mark Twain.   He submitted The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to Chatto and Windus in 1876.  He used a Remington typewriter. 

Thanks for stopping by!!

That lovely bride and groom figurine set certainly did "break my concentration." :)

Thanks for the fun fact trivia. I am glad you gave the answer, for I would have never guessed it.

Lovely bride and groom but they did distract me. Of course if I hadn't been distracted I would have answered correctly! Love the old copy of Tom Sawyer…
