Tom Sawyer is poor boy. He doesn`t like school. Tom is very active boy. One night,Tom and his friend Huck decide to go to graveyard to see ghost. But instead of ghost, three man appeared in the graveyard....
This story is easy to read.I think Tom is very brave and Tom`s adventure is interesting. But this book`s last is not sstisfactory to me. ( )

'Tom Sawyer' rates five stars as kiddie lit. Adults are apt to take a more jaundiced view of the book. To the grown-up mind 'TS' is completely contrived. Every one of its 274 pages is smeared with the same maudlin slop that coats the last 90 pages of 'Huckleberry Finn.'

Kids still love it. Read it to your little ones if you can stand 274 pages of abject insipidity. ( )

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

World's Best Reading

Book description
This is part of a Box set of two volumes "The Beautiful Heritage Edition" Illustrated by Norman Rockwell and was sold for $5.00 (1940) I can't seem to find the right copyright for this 2 volume boxed set but the picture of the book is very similar

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0520235754, Paperback)

This is Mark Twain's first novel about Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, and it has become one of the world's best-loved books. It is a fond reminiscence of life in Hannibal, Missouri, an evocation of Mark Twain's own boyhood along the banks of the Mississippi during the 1840s. "Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred," he tells us. This is a book one never forgets: Tom whitewashing Aunt Polly's fence, Tom and Huck's dreadful oath, their cure for warts ("spunk water" and dead cats), Tom's puppy love for Becky Thatcher, the boys playing "pirate" on Jackson's Island.
This Mark Twain Library text is the only edition since the first (1876) to be based directly on the author's manuscript and to include all of the "200 rattling pictures" Mark Twain commissioned from one of his favorite illustrators, True W. Williams.
