Description
"Mark Twain was the first truly American writer, and all of us since are his heirs." - William Faulkner
This elegant collector's edition presents Mark Twain's classic novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, featuring gold cover embossing and gilded page-edges.
Mark Twain's classic of smalltown life along the banks of the Mississippi features the loveable rascal Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn - a social outcast and son of the town drunk. Dogged by his nemesis - the villainous Injun Joe - Tom embarks with Huck on a series of boyhood adventures, which include witnessing a murder in a graveyard at dead of night, running away to become a pirate, and hunting for buried treasure in a haunted house. Twain paints a wonderfully droll and idyllic picture of rural Missouri as his quick-witted hero keeps weaving his way into, and out of, trouble.
This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic and unabridged text, presented with a gold embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and gold gilded page edges. Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this book makes a wonderful gift for any lover of classic literature.
