THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER - MARK TWAIN KARTO...

Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred  one or two were experiences of my
own  the rest those of boys who were school mates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life  Tom
Sawyer also  but not from an individual he is a combination of the characteristics of three
boys whom I knew  and therefore belongs to the com posite order of architecture. The odd
superstitions touched upon were all prevalent among children and slaves in the West at the
period of this story that is to say  thirty or forty years ago. 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. Mark Twain This wonderful book is a reprint of the original
published book from 1876.
