Book
The adventures of Tom Sawyer / Mark Twain ; with afterword by Alfred Kazin.
Sparkling with mischief, jumping with youthful adventurousness, Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer is one of the most splendid re-creations of childhood in all of literature. It is a light-hearted romp, full of humor and warmth. It shares with its sequel, the masterpiece Huckleberry Finn, not only a set of unforgettable characters--Tom, Huck, Aunt Polly, and others--but a profound understanding of humankind as well. Through such hilarious scenes as the famous fence-whitewashing incident, Twain gives us a portrait--perceptive yet tender--of a humanity rendered foolish by its own aspirations and obsessions.

Summary
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer : A Novel
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read This irresistible tale of the adventures of two friends growing up in frontier America is one of Mark Twain's most popular novels. The farcical, colorful, and poignant escapades of Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn brilliantly depict the humor and pathos of growing up on the geographic and cultural rim of nineteenth-century America. Originally intended for children, the book transcends genre in its magical depiction of innocence and possibility, and is now regarded as one of Twain's masterpieces.
