Description

This is an auction for two books by Mark Twain in a single paperback.

They are:

  • THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER

and

  • THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN

From Wikipedia:

"Tom Sawyer is the protagonist and title character of the Mark Twain novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). He appears in three other novels by Twain: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894), and Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896). Tom Sawyer is an amalgam of three boys Twain knew while growing up. The name Sawyer is derived from the Mississippi River pilot's term for a "tree in the bed of the river with its branches reaching the surface and moving up and down with the current". Twain was a river pilot at one time, and many of the adventures of his character, Tom Sawyer, are connected with the Mississippi River, and partly derive from this experience. Tom Sawyer is an adventurous, playful boy, a natural show-off who likes to show his authority over other boys. He is around 12 years old as gathered from hints in Twain's works. Tom is supposed to represent the carefree and wonderful world of boyhood in the early-mid 1800s. His best friends include Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom's infatuation with Rebecca Thatcher is apparent. He has a half-brother, Sid, a cousin, Mary, and his aunt is known as Aunt Polly, with all of whom he lives. Tom is Aunt Polly's dead sister's son. It is unknown how Tom's mother died..."
