Greatly Exaggerated? In 1897, Mark Twain was on a speaking tour in London, seeking as he often did to raise funds to pay off his debts, when the English press first reported him ill and soon after reported him dead. The American author responded with his famous line that, “reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” If fact, Twain may have said the report of his death was “an exaggeration,” but that is not nearly as piquant as the popular version of the timeless phrase.
