Of all the characters that Mark Twain has ever produced, perhaps none are as memorable as his glittering heroes Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
In addition to his everyday exploits (like digging for buried treasure, and trying to impress his adored Becky Thatcher), Tom experiences a traumatic turn of events when he witnesses a murder, runs away, returns to attend his own funeral, and then testify in court.
The authoritative manuscript, completely uncensored, Twain's timeless hymn to boyhood overflows with warmth, and slapstick humor, as it brings to vivid life Twain's most lovable characters: Tom, Huck Finn, Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly, and of course the "scarifying" Injun Joe.
