Adventures of Tom Sawyer

<b>Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's <i>The Great American Read</i></b> <p/>Sparkling with mischief jumping with youthful adventurousness Mark Twain's <i>Tom Sawyer</i> is one of the most splendid re-creations of childhood in all of literature. It is a lighthearted romp full of humor and warmth. It shares with its sequel the masterpiece <i>Huckleberry Finn</i> not only a set of unforgettable characters--Tom Huck Aunt Polly and others--but a profound understanding of humankind as well. Through such hilarious scenes as the famous fence-whitewashing incident Twain gives us a portrait--perceptive yet tender--of a humanity rendered foolish by its own aspirations and obsessions. <p/>An enduring classic that famously appeals to young and old alike <i>Tom Sawyer </i>is the work of a master storyteller performing in his shirtsleeves using his best talents to everyone's delight.
