HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'Now he found out a new thing - namely, that to
promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a
body want to go and do that very thing.' An idyllic snapshot of a
boy's childhood along the banks of the Mississippi River, Twain's
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the author's work that comes
closest to his boyhood experiences of growing up in Hannibal in the
1840s. Mischievous and full of energy, Tom enjoys childish pranks
and pastimes with his friends, Huck Finn, the town outcast and Joe
Harper, his best friend. However, at the town graveyard, Huck and
Tom witness a murder, carried out by local vagabond Injun Joe. They
vow never to tell a soul about what they have seen and so begins
their journey into adulthood as Tom wrestles with his own morality,
guilt and anxiety. A 'coming of age' tale, it is through Tom's
adventures and relationships with others that he becomes more
responsible and more aware of his own inner conflict. Through the
central characters of Tom and Huck, Twain satirises the moral
rigidity of society and adult hypocrisy, whilst at the same time
giving a nostalgic portrayal of a young boy's journey into
adulthood.
