About the Author

Mark Twain was born in Hannibal, Missouri, in 1835. An adventurous young man, Twain traveled around the United States. He worked as a Mississippi riverboat pilot, a miner, and a reporter. When Twain wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in 1872, most books presented boys as purely good or evil characters. Twain wanted his boy hero, Tom Sawyer, to be a real boy, so he based the book on his own boyhood adventures in Missouri.

This review is from: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Graphic Revolve) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my grandsons who had never heard of Tom Sawyer. One was born in Hawaii; the other, Colombia South America. I want to take the boys back to their roots . . . Missouri . . . and, of course, go to Silver Dollar City where a new attraction this year is Tom and Huck on the water. This "comic" media is a great way for the boys to know the story before they get there and to realize that the fun they will experience has significant meaning.
