A deliciously handsome new edition of an absolute classic to mark the centenary of Mark Twain’s death in 1910. Featuring the unabridged text, Ingpen has succeeded in creating an evocative and nostalgic picture of boyhood on the Mississippi just as Twain succeeded with the words some 150 years ago.
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.
