'You don't know about me, without you've read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but that ain't no matter. The book was made by Mr Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.' Huckleberry Finn is being 'sivilized.' He has, rather inconveniently, come into the sum of six thousand dollars. The Widow Douglas has put him in a new suit of clothes, and is making him wash and go to school. He is not allowed to gape, stretch or smoke, and he is desperate to run away ... What began life as a sequel to Tom Sawyer quickly became one of the most important of all American novels. Mark Twain's story of a young hobo and a escaped slave who set off to find freedom on the Mississippi is an exuberant and nostalgic children's book, with subtle undertones of adult melancholy and yearning. --front flap
