Editorial Reviews
“The hero is one of the most endearing in literature.” —Daily Telegraph (London)
“Confirms the profoundest wishes of the heart.” —Christopher Morley, American journalist, novelist, essayist, and poet
“More than a book for boys, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, with its rich native humor and shrewd observations of human character, is an idyll of American village life, of that quiet age that had already vanished when Mark Twain re-created St. Petersburg from memories of his own boyhood...[Twain’s] service as delightful entertainment to generation of American youngsters is equaled only by his influence on such twentieth-century admirers as Gertrude Stein, William Faulkner, and Ernest Hemingway.” —Masterpieces of World Literature
