About this ebook
Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read
This irresistible tale of the adventures of two friends growing up in frontier America is one of Mark Twain’s most popular novels. The farcical, colorful, and poignant escapades of Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn brilliantly depict the humor and pathos of growing up on the geographic and cultural rim of nineteenth-century America. Originally intended for children, the book transcends genre in its magical depiction of innocence and possibility, and is now regarded as one of Twain’s masterpieces.

A real picture of the time. Read it to my son, replacing the unfortunate racial references with genrric terms for people. In reading it I was transported back to a youthful optimism long forgotten. Very pleasurable read.
