Commentary by William Dean Howells, Athenaeum, The Illustrated London News, and Hartford Christian Secretary
Â
This irresistible tale of the adventures of two friends growing up in frontier America is one of Mark Twainâs most popular novels. The farcical, colorful, and poignant escapades of Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn brilliantly depict the humor and pathos of growing up on the geographic and cultural rim of nineteenth-century America. Originally intended for children, the book transcends genre in its magical depiction of innocence and possibility, and is now regarded as one of Twainâs masterpieces. As Frank Conroy observes in his Introduction, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer âhas become a sacred text within the body of American literature.â
