The adventures of Tom Sawyer  Cover Image Book Book

The adventures of Tom Sawyer / Mark Twain ; with an introduction and notes by R. Kent Rasmussen.

Summary:

"The classic boyhood adventure tale, updated with a new introduction by noted Mark Twain scholar R. Kent Rasmussen. A consummate prankster with a quick wit, Tom Sawyer dreams of a bigger fate than simply being a "rich boy." Yet through the novel's humorous escapades-from the famous episode of the whitewashed fence to the trial of Injun Joe-Mark Twain explores the deeper themes of the adult world, one of dishonesty and superstition, murder and revenge, starvation and slavery. "-- Provided by publisher.
