AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer presents Mark Twain's classic tale of youthful mischief, friendship and adventure along the Mississippi River, featuring Tom, Huck and Becky in the episodes that helped shape American literary tradition. The narrative includes the famous fence-painting scene, the explorations in the cave, the confrontation with Injun Joe and the vivid portrayal of small-town life that has made the novel enduringly influential. This 1904 edition contains the complete text accompanied by the original illustrations by True Williams, which enrich the story and emphasize its most memorable moments.

The 1904 Chatto & Windus “New Edition” is a desirable early twentieth-century printing that is not commonly encountered today, especially with its original illustrated content. While not a first edition, it represents a collectible historical issue within the British print tradition of Twain's works and is appreciated for its period presentation and its connection to the early illustrated versions of the novel.

This item will be carefully packaged and shipped with a track-and-trace code.
