The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Complete is set in the 1830s–1840s in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, which is based on Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived as a boy. In the novel, Sawyer has several adventures, often with his friend Huckleberry Finn.

About the author

Twain’s river books look like boyhood adventures and keep turning into arguments about conscience, fraud, and American speech. Huckleberry Finn is the one that refuses a tidy moral. More of this shelf for Mark Twain.
