Writer born Samuel Langhorne Clemens (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

mark twain

(Other definitions for mark twain that I've seen before include "Tom had him writing about?" , "Writer of Huckleberry Finn" , "American humorous writer, d. 1910" , ""The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" author" , "US writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
