The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain, is a popular 1876 novel about a young boy growing up in the Antebellum South on the Mississippi River in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Tom Sawyer, a mischievous orphan taken in by his Aunt Polly, goes through a series of adventures involving his friends, Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn. Tom is an escape master, and a professional trickster. The best known passage in the book describes how Sawyer persuades his friends to whitewash, or paint, a long fence for him. -- Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Intuitive navigatio.

I gave up on this just a few chapters in. I found the language, especially the dialogue, inaccessible. And there are just so many things I‘m excited about reading right now, I couldn‘t justify suffering through a book I wasn‘t getting anything out of.

#17booklove Day 25: Classic Love. I found these beauties for $2 each while I was visiting family in Tulsa, Oklahoma! I read them in school and just fell in love. I reread them every few years.

stargazerblue49 #classicsconfessions When I was growing up, teachers were always amazed because I told them I'd read books like Tom Sawyer and White Fang, etc... Flash forward to adulthood and me realizing that the Great Illustrated Classics are abridged and that I didn't actually read these books "for real". ? 7y

Josie @stargazerblue49 haha oh no!!!! I haven't even read the illustrated editions. I'm glad you told me so when I do a reread, I'll do my actual copies 😂😂 7y

stargazerblue49 I am not 100% sure that all of them are, but I'm pretty certain that they made many of them more kid friendly. 7y
