The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

First published in 1875, this classic excursion into Mark Twain's Mississippi River country will lighten your heart even today. The characters themselves – Tom's aunt Polly, his friends Becky and Huck, even Injun Joe – evoke nostalgia for a simpler, more rural lifestyle.

Mark Twain describes a people, and a place, full of affection, wit, and adventure...where a dark summer night in a graveyard searching for black cats, or even getting lost during a cave exploration can be a truly exciting and fulfilling experience.
