Mark Twain is totally different. I read 'Tom Sawyers' and 'Huckleberry Finn' and I loved all of it, how they sawed off the leg of that bed (it could have been just lifted) in order to free their black 'slave' friend Jim and how those bad theatre guys were caught and tared and feathered after their Shakespeare 'performance'.

Great stuff, written for kids - and for grown ups as well. Ted would understand it all, no problem.

"Because he was a great writer. Rand was not."

No kidding. She apparently was of the school of thought that characters in fiction should not act like real people. And everything is black and white, no shades of gray or conflicted beliefs.
