Julia Eccleshare's comment:
One of the most famous characters in literature, Tom Sawyer has an uncanny knack of getting into mischief. Wherever Tom is there is drama, whether playing tricks on his friends to do his job of painting the fence, being witness to a murder, finding a box of gold or attending his own funeral. Tom always seems to come out on top but will he be able to outwit Injun Joe?

The hero is one of the most endearing in literature.

Twain shares a talent for well-observed caricature with Dickens... adventure, social commentary and good humour runs through his fiction.
