Description
That rascal Tom Sawyer is having quite a time! In just a few months' time he's gotten engaged to the new girl in town, witnessed a murder, stayed in a haunted house, found buried treasure, been lost in a cave, and watched his own funeral. But that's Tom for you—an unpredictable mix of youthful innocence and mischief.
First published in 1876, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has delighted generations of readers who believe that they themselves have a little bit of Tom's spunk and irascibility in them.
This volume is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive coloured edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
