Highlights: New Release
This revised Large Print Book Company edition contains illustrations by E. W. Kemble from the first 1884 edition published by Charles L. Webster & Co. in New York. A Great American Classic, it is set in the author's birthplace—antebellum MIssissippi—and told from Huck Finn's point of view. We have not Bowdlerized the author's original dialog, which contains language modern readers may consider offensive but is essential to convey the hard truth of the time. Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer's sidekick of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (also by Mark Twain and available from us in large print), escapes his abusive alcoholic father and travels down the Mississipi River with Jim, a runaway slave. Along the way they run into and escape thieves, imposters, and a family feud. Ultimately they both obtain the long-sought freedom they deserve. How they manage this together is the meat and bones of this humorous and ultimately heart-warming tale.
