Author: MARK TWAIN, JOHN SEELYE
Title: The adventures of Tom Sawyer
Description: Penguin Classics, 1986. Paperback. Pp: 226. 'He was not the model boy of the village. He knew the model boy very well, though, and loathed him.' Tom Sawyer is too spirited for the schoolroom and too freedom-loving for Church. If he can find a way of getting out of work - by tricking his friends into whitewashing his Aunt Polly's fence - or sneaking away from home when he's supposed to be in bed, he will. His friend Huck Finn is even more of a vagabond, and together they run wild on the banks of the Mississippi with a band of boy pirates, explore a haunted house and discover buried treasure. Although originally written for younger readers, Mark Twain's masterly evocation of childhood is tinged with nostalgia for a lost innocence as Tom and his friends come into contact with the darker realities of the adult world.
