(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)<br><br>Along with Blake and Dickens, Mark Twain was one of the nineteenth century&#8217;s greatest chroniclers of childhood. These two novels reveal different aspects of his genius: <i>Tom Sawyer</i> is a much-loved story about the sheer pleasure of being a boy; <i>Huckleberry Finn</i>, the book Hemingway said was the source of all the American fiction that followed it, is both a hilarious account of an incorrigible truant and a tremendous parable of innocence in conflict with the fallen adult world.
