The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The adventures of a mischievous young boy named Tom and his friends
growing up in a Mississippi River town in the nineteenth century.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
'It's lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars,
and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them'
Huck Finn spits, swears, smokes a pipe and never goes to school.
With his too-big clothes and battered straw hat,
Huck is in need of 'civilising', and the Widow Douglas is determined to take him in hand.
And wouldn't you know, Huck's no-good Pap is also after him and he locks Huck up in his cabin in the woods.
But Huck won't stand too much of this, and after a daring escape,
he takes off down the Mississippi on a raft with an runaway slave called Jim.
But plenty of dangers wait for them along the river - will they survive and win their freedom?
