Book excerpt: Book One: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. It is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. He skips school to swim and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses consistently, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premises-a dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt." Book Two: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (or, in more recent editions, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular English, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective). It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer Abroad is a novel by Mark Twain published in 1894. It features Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a parody of adventure stories like those of Jules Verne. In the story, Tom, Huck, and Jim set sail to Africa in a futuristic hot air balloon, where they survive encounters with lions, robbers, and fleas to see some of the world's greatest wonders, including the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, Detective, the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn. It is a sequel, set in the time following the title story of the Tom Sawyer series. Book Four: Tom Sawyer, Detective Is an 1896 novel by Mark Twain. It is a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and a prequel to Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894). Tom Sawyer attempts to solve a mysterious murder in this burlesque of the immensely popular detective novels of the time. Like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn.

Book excerpt: MS BookS Publishing presents Mark Twain's series of books featuring the fictional characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Over the years these stories have been heavily edited, abridged, and simplified to reach a juvenile market with illustrations showing Tom and Huck as 8-10-year-old boys; Mark Twain clearly intended the main characters to behave and talk as boys, 12-13 years of age --the artwork features precocious boys, about to become young adults; in Schoolhouse Hill, Mark Twain gives us the age of the new school boy as 15 --so that's that.

Book excerpt: (Just Click on the "Classics Factory" Above for More Books for Your Collection) ------ The Tom Sawyer for You The young schoolboy protagonist of the novel, Tom Sawyer, commands a great reputation as a troublemaker. The story revolves around mischievous and boisterous Tom Sawyer, his adventure and trouble in the Mississippi River towns; about him and his half-brother Sid; his love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town; Tom Sawyer's and his friend, Huckleberry Finn's misadventure at the graveyard where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson by the Native-American "half-breed" Injun Joe; Tom, Huck, and Tom's friend Joe Harper's experience at an island where they run away to become pirates, etc. And of course, you get the famous episodes of the whitewashed fence when Tom is able to con the neighborhood boys into completing the chore for him, managing to convince them of the joys of whitewashing. Actually it was a punishment from his aunt Polly. The conclusion:In his conclusion to the book Mark Twain writes, "When one writes a novel about grown people, he knows exactly where to stop - that is, with a marriage; but when he writes of juveniles, he must stop where he best can." Tom and Huck become hometown heroes with a happy ending (with Tom concocting a new scheme, and persuading someone, this time Huck Finn, to come along for the ride;). The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is remindful of life in the Mississippi River towns in which the legendary author Mark Twain spent his own youth. It is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom Sawyer is a story told in such an engaging manner that you'll be tempted to read it all in one sitting. The characters are so vibrant and alive and the language simple, fun and engaging. If you have the stomach for such a story full of humor and horror, you will not be disappointed by one of the best-loved characters in American fiction. Trivia: 1. According to an October 2012 article published in Smithsonian magazine, Twain named his fictional character after a San Francisco fireman whom he met in June 1863. The real Tom Sawyer was a local hero, famous for rescuing 90 passengers after a shipwreck. The two remained friendly during Twain's three-year stay in San Francisco, often drinking and gambling together. 2. On November 30, 2011, to celebrate Twain's 176th birthday, the Google Doodle was a scene from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 3. In 1956, We're From Missouri, a musical adaptation of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, with book, music and lyrics by Tom Boyd, was presented by the students at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. 4. Tom Sawyer isn't really a bad kid although he's always painted and remembered as a little troublemaker, the truth is he has a strong conscience and a strong moral compass. Sure he'll "hook" doughnuts, sugar, and jam from his put-upon Aunt Polly and play hooky from school, but he is very good and brave in general. This all-time favorite work of fiction has inspired, entertained, and brought laughter for generation is all set to do the same today for you and/or your child. Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy!
