Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who lived from 1835 – 1910, and better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist, reared in HANNIBAL, MISSOURI. In the drowsy Mississippi River town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, Tom Sawyer, imaginative and mischievous, and his priggish brother, Sid, life with simple, kind-hearted AUNT POLLY. Sid 'peaches' on Tom for playing hookey, and Tom is punished by being made to whitewash a fence, but ingeniously leads his friends to do this job for him, by pretending it is a privilege. When his sweetheart, BECKY THATCHER is angered because Tom reveals that he has previously been in love, he forsakes a temporary effort at virtue, plays hookey, and decides to become a pirate or a ROBIN HOOD. With his boon companion HUCK FINN, a good-natured, irresponsible river-rat, Tom goes to a graveyard at midnight to swing a dead cat--- an act that Huck says is a cure for warts---- and there they watch INJUN JOE, a half-breed criminal, stab the town doctor to death. . . Tom, Huck, and JOE HARPER, hide on nearby Jackson's island. Later when Injun Joe is found dead, Tom and Huck inherit his treasure. The novel concludes with these lines: "So endeth this chronicle. It being strictly a history of a boy, it must stop here. . .most of the characters in this book still live and are prosperous and happy." 265 pages----a GORGEOUS title. I offer combined shipping.

Quite the surprised, at first I thought I ordered something from a pet shop because of the box turns out to be my order xD. My books were well packaged no noticeable box damage internally and externally. They were as described in the listing and shipped promptly in a 2 weeks window. Would recommend seller.
