Product Description

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

Along with Blake and Dickens, Mark Twain was one of the nineteenth century’s greatest chroniclers of childhood. These two novels reveal different aspects of his genius: Tom Sawyer is a much-loved story about the sheer pleasure of being a boy; Huckleberry Finn, the book Hemingway said was the source of all the American fiction that followed it, is both a hilarious account of an incorrigible truant and a tremendous parable of innocence in conflict with the fallen adult world. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book for all ages, Jan 13 2004

By	Frikle - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn (Paperback)

This is a collection of two books that are often considered for children. However, they are suitable for both adults and children. The kids will love the adventure, the wonderfully irreverent and humorous view of childhood and the characters with their loyalty and friendship. The adults will also enjoy the satire of life in the "proper" lower middle-class society of the South with the sendups of hypocricy, false religiousity, racism and slavery and the like.

Tom Sawyer is probably more oriented for children than the other one. Here, the focus is Tom, who is largely a child prankster. His romantic ideals of doing things like running away to be a pirate are the source of great amusement and reflection for him - and worry for his family.

Huckleberry Finn has more adult themes. Here, the mockery of society is much harsher as Huck escapes from his abusive, drunk father to sail down the Mississippi with Tom and Jim (a runaway slave). Along the way the get to see the best and worst of what America on the river has to offer.

These books should be treasured and deserve their fame. Twain informs and relates in a totally entertaining and warm way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable Read, Mar 24 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Signet Classics Adventures Of Tom Sawyer And Adventures Of (Mass Market Paperback)

I purchased this book because It had both Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in one. The cover, pages, and print size make it a perfect treasure to read, and eventually to keep on your bookshelf display. It's a great Sunday afternoon read.

4.0 out of 5 stars better for adults than kids?, Dec 18 2000

By	lazza (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn (Paperback)

Back in junior high school (ie, MANY moons ago) I read Tom Sawyer and/or Huckleberry Finn. However I couldn't remember which one, nor did I know one story from the other (like most Americans, I've seen more film adaptations of these stories than I care to recall). So I decided to read these little jewels once again. And I'm so glad I did.

First of all, I don't believe either story is suitable for children really. Both Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer seem too, well, immature compared to the youths of today. And the crude racist language is certainly unfashionable nowadays. But as an adult one can appreciate these stories as Mark Twain's trip down memory lane, looking at life on the river with rose-colored glasses. No, the stories (..which we all know) are not realistic. But they are fun, harmless and well-written.

The Wordsworth Edition is very nice little package of both stories. And I certainly recommend reading both stories back-to-back since they flow together well.

So I recommed all middle-aged kids (like me) revisit Mark Twain's memorable boys. They will bring a smile to your face.
