Tom Sawyer is a light-hearted excursion in boyhood and a nostalgic return to the simple rural Missouri world where his Aunt Polly and his friends Huck Finn And Becky live in a dreamlike world of summertime and hooky, pranks and punishments, villains and desperate advebnture, seen thru the eyes of a boy. Huckleberry Finn: has no mother and his father is a brutal drunkard and he sleeps in a hogshead. He is a homeless waif, a liar and thief and casual rebel against respectability. But when he finds a runaway slave named Jim he finds love, acceptance and responsibility.
Mark Twain (1835-1910) was an American humorist, satirist, social critic, lecturer and novelist. He is mostly remembered for his classic novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
