Synopsis
In this classic coming-of-age tale, the hero is not the maverick iconoclast that Huck Finn is; his comic battles with prim conformity are essentially harmless. In "Tom Sawyer", Twain effectively and lovingly recreates the pastoral world of his Hannibal, Missouri childhood, including a portrait of his brother Henry (who died young in a shipboard explosion) as Tom's younger brother, Sid.

Industry Reviews
"Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in."
Preface - Mark Twain (01/01/1876)

"The story is a wonderful study of the boy-mind, which inhabits a world quite distinct from that in which he is bodily present with his elders, and in this lies its great charm and its universality, for boy-nature, however human nature varies, is the same everywhere."
Atlantic Monthly - William Dean Howells (05/18/1976)
