The classic boyhood adventure tale, updated with a new introduction by noted Mark Twain scholar R. Kent Rasmussen. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read
A consummate prankster with a quick wit, Tom Sawyer dreams of a bigger fate than simply being a "rich boy."
