xvi, [17]-274, [6] pp. Blue cloth, gilt and black titles and decorations. Engraved frontispiece and illustrations throughout text. Arguably the most important novel in the American literary tradition. Inspiration for multiple film, television, and theatrical adaptations, and iconic enough to inspire references in other media as well, from comic books to the popular song by Rush. Tom Sawyer has a nose for mischief. Growing up with his Aunt Polly and half-brother Sid, Tom has a way of looking for trouble. When young Tom Sawyer and his buddy Huckleberry Finn sneak out to the graveyard at midnight for what they deem to be good fun, what they don't expect is to witness a trio of body snatchers robbing a grave…and the consequences thereafter proving to be potentially catastrophic. Corralled by the limits of his small town, Tom Sawyer seeks a life that is unencumbered by rules and curfews. Alongside his buddy, Huck Finn, the duo make their way through what becomes an adventure of a lifetime, and one laden with secret hidden treasure.
