The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Two boys on the Mississippi, one chasing games and buried treasure, the other running from a life that will not leave him alone. Twain's paired novels move from the whitewashed fence and the graveyard at midnight to a raft drifting south with a man escaping slavery, and the second book turns the first book's mischief into something considerably harder. The vernacular voices, river geography and small-town hypocrisy of the American South are recorded closely. This deluxe edition places both novels in one hardbound volume. What the reading experience is like: • Both of Mark Twain's Mississippi novels collected in a single volume • Boyhood adventure in the first book, moral reckoning in the second • Regional speech and river life recorded in the language of the period • Hardbound production intended for collectors of American classics Suited to older children reading with guidance, secondary students and adult readers of American literature, available from Boipoka.
