"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain (1876)

Sunday 24 July 2022, by Mark Twain

The famous tale of growing up in grassroots America in the first part of the 19th Century, with two of the best-known characters in the whole of American fiction, the resourceful and imaginative Tom Sawyer and his adventurous, semi-wild bosom friend Huckleberry Finn.

With its charm and formidable humour and its almost magical way of recreating the atmosphere of life in the halcyon days of America’s youth before the Civil War on the banks of the Mississippi river, this very special book by a very gifted author has a universal appeal that has superbly passed the test of time to become a classic for not only young people of both sexes but all those who were young once too.

With all of the 161 (!) very expressive, titled illustrations of the first American edition in late 1876 by Trueman W. Williams.
