This simplified and shortened retelling of one of the great literary classics of 20th century literature makes it more accessible to a modern and perhaps younger audience. It remains faithful to the original text in the treatment of the story and is perfect for enthusiastic young readers, who will be mesmerised by the story and encouraged to pursue an interest in reading other historical classics too.
Twain is considered the greatest humorist of 19th Century American literature. His novels and stories about the Mississippi River: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1894) are still popular with modern readers.
