Rate this book
“THERE comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy’s life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.” – The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

“You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft” – Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Two of Mark Twain's Great American Novels, collected in one volume, feature two of the most famous characters in American literature.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer chronicles the escapades of the mischievous and daring Tom Sawyer and his friends, who are constantly looking for new adventures along the banks of the Mississippi River.

Huck Finn, Tom's friend, flees from his violent father and embarks on a perilous raft ride down the Mississippi River with Jim, a fugitive slave, seeking freedom from the constraints of society in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer were innovative in American literature and children's literature because they presented the first emotionally charged portrayal of childhood.
