The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Omtale

Mark Twain's classic of smalltown life along the banks of the Mississippi before the Civil War features loveable rascal Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn, a social outcast and son of the town drunk. Tom lives with his respectable but gullible Aunt Polly and, dogged by his nemesis - the villainous Injun Joe - embarks on a series of boyhood adventures, which include witnessing a murder in a graveyard at dead of night, running away to become a pirate and hunting for buried treasure in a haunted house. Twain paints a wonderfully droll and idyllic picture of rural Missouri as his quick-witted hero keeps weaving his way into, and out of, trouble.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.
