The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain

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.
