An abridged version of the adventures of Tom and his friends growing up in a small Missouri town on the banks of the Mississippi River in the nineteenth century.

Searching for treasure, tricking others into doing his work, and running away with Huckleberry Finn--Tom Sawyer's antics and mischief-making are sheer, child-pleasing delight. This simpler version of Twain's classic is ideal for elementary readers. Illustrations.
