Book 14 "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

By

Mark Twain


I have most of Mark Twain's books in a leather bound book that I have failed to read over the years and I felt compelled to read them at last. I've read this particular story before, but found the re-read delightful. It's nice to offset some serious reads with
some light and playful books.

Not to mention that Mark Twain is thought of the first American writer to stake his claim in "World Literature" let alone "American Literature".

His famous character of "Tom Sawyer" can be seen in several other books, but nothing paints a clear picture of Mississippi living and boyhood adventure more than the story of young Mr. Sawyer. The famous story of tricking his friends to white wash the fence, and witnessing Injun Joe's cemetery murder, and finding buried treasure in a Mississippi River cave makes for an interesting and fun read.

Classic.

I would even add a small tidbit that if you are traveling near Hannibal Missouri to make a small stop and see the setting for most of Twain's books. It brings the books to life.
