Published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is Mark Twain’s affectionate, humor-filled portrayal of a mischievous boy growing up in the fictional river town of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Tom’s escapades — whitewashing fences, sneaking off to Jackson’s Island, witnessing a murder in the graveyard, and hunting for buried treasure — are drawn from Twain’s own Missouri childhood and told with warmth, wit, and pitch-perfect comic timing.
A perennial favorite for readers of all ages, the novel is also a sharp and nostalgic portrait of antebellum American small-town life. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg and follow Tom and Huck on their unforgettable adventures.
