Paperback
Sparkling with mischief, jumping with youthful adventure, Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer is one of the most splendid re-creations of childhood in all of literature. It is a lighthearted romp, full of humor and warmth. It shares with its companion, the masterpiece Huckleberry Finn, not only a set of unforgettable characters, but a profound understanding of humanity. Through such hilarious scenes as the famous fence-whitewashing incident, Twain gives us a portrait--perceptive yet tender--of a humanity rendered foolish by its own aspirations and obsessions. | |
