Mark Twain created the memorable characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn drawing from the experiences of boys he grew up with in Missouri.
Tom’s classic whitewashing of the fence has become part of American culture, and the book paints a nostalgic picture of life in the middle of the nineteenth century.
“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” is a book for readers of all ages, one of Mark Twain’s most beloved stories.
“Saturday morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life. There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young, the music issued at the lips. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step. The locust-trees were in bloom, and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air.”
“One of the best adventure books of all time.”
