{"product_id":"9781603062404","title":"Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer: The Original Text Edition","description":"This coming-of-age story captures a vanished world of outdoor action and introduces Mark Twain's two most enduring literary characters, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. In a novel that Twain termed a \"hymn to boyhood,\" Tom and Huck fish and swim in the Mississippi River, search for buried treasure, and hide in a haunted house. Tom Sawyer falls for pretty Becky Thatcher, tricks his pals into painting a fence for him, and stages an elaborate prank on the schoolmaster. Around the edges of this idyllic boy-life, however, loom dangerous events in the fictional village of St. Petersburg: Tom and Huck witness a midnight murder in a graveyard, the killer escapes from the courtroom while Tom is testifying, Tom and Becky become lost in a labyrinthine cave, and two sinister villains plot robbery and revenge against a wealthy widow. This Original Text Edition faithfully follows the wording of the first edition, and the editor supplies a historical and literary introduction as well as a guide to Twain's satirical targets.","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46315423465713,"sku":"9781603062404","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781603062404_p0.jpg?v=1765992223","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781603062404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
