The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are two of the best-known and best- loved books in children's literature.
The characters and exploits of two boys living in a small town on the banks of the great Mississippi River are largely based on the author's own life and experiences and on that of his friends.
Tom. Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn were the first heroes of children's literature not to display the sometimes priggish moral values of earlier Victorian creations. Mark Twain celebrates instead their resourcefulness, physical courage and above all their humour. Readers today, both young and old, will be held as spellbound by their hair-raising escapades as they were a century ago.

Work Description
THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
Take a lighthearted, nostalgic trip to a simpler time, seen through the eyes of a very special boy named Tom Sawyer. It is a dreamlike summertime world of hooky and adventure, pranks and punishment, villains and first love, filled with memorable characters. Adults and young readers alike continue to enjoy this delightful classic of the promise and dreams of youth from one of America’s most beloved authors.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
He has no mother, his father is a brutal drunkard, and he sleeps in a barrel. He’s Huck Finn—liar, sometime thief, and rebel against respectability. But when Huck meets a runaway slave named Jim, his life changes forever. On their exciting flight down the Mississippi aboard a raft, the boy nobody wanted matures into a young man of courage and conviction. As Ernest Hemingway said of this glorious novel, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.”
