Synopsis

A timeless classic gets a fresh coat of paint in this edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, complete with a contemporary redesign and interior illustrations.

First published in 1876, it's no wonder The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has since become a classic: its pages brim with pranks, playing hooky, and plenty of summertime fun. Enjoy the beloved tale of Tom, Huck, Becky, and Aunt Polly with this new edition of Mark Twain's most popular work that includes a modern cover and new illustrations from Iacopo Bruno. This new look coincides with a new edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the publication of The Absolutely Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher.

About this title

Review:

"The hero is one of the most endearing in literature" (Daily Telegraph)

"Twain shares a talent for well-observed caricature with Dickens...adventure, social commentary and good humour runs though his fiction" (Sunday Express)

"In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Twain anticipates every modern American novel, from Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye to Pynchon's Mason And Dixon, in mapping a fluvial, free-flowing adventure" (Guardian)

"Twain had a gift for reliving the innermost feelings of growing up, the insecurity, fears and hopes that lie beneath the swagger that young boys maintain. He turned them into literature" (Daily Mail)

"This classic story will stay with you through life, and always remind you of the things that you knew were important when you first read it" (Katy Guest The Independent)
