Are you into stories about mischievous and imaginative children? Then you will surely love the works of the great storyteller Mark Twain.
‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’, written by Twain is a child’s adventure story. It is also, however, the story of a young boy’s transition into a young man. The book was published in 1876. Mark Twain describes some autobiographical events in the book. The novel is set around Twain’s actual boyhood home of Hannibal, near St. Louis, US, and many of the places in it are real. As a result, today, these places support a tourist industry.
‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ has become a classic portrait of a mischievous youth, and the adventures of adolescence. It is one of the world’s best-loved tales ever.
This amazing book was Twain’s first attempt at writing a real novel. The titular hero of the novel, Tom Sawyer, is a young boy living on the banks of the Mississippi River. He lives with his Aunt Polly, half-brother Sid, and his cousin Mary.
