Contained in this volume are two classics from Mark Twain, who is often referred to as the father of American literature.

Twain first introduced Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in his 1876 book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," which relates the story of Tom and Huck's boyhood, their days ditching school, swimming in the Mississippi River, and, eventually, their involvement in a murder plot.

The first book eventually grew to be so popular that it prompted Twain to create a sequel and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is now considered one of finest America novels ever written. In it, we see Huck escape the clutches of his drunken, avaricious father, fake his own death and light out with escaped slave Jim to get to Illinois, where Jim can enjoy his freedom. "Huck Finn" is considered by many critics to be the Great American Novel.

Two American classics from the country's finest storyteller, these books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.
