The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain
19th Century American Literature

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn

They are clothbound and beautiful with the perfect size of margins and type. Both books nestle into a sturdy slipcase with gold type and a full colour illustration of Sawyer tricking one of his peers into doing his chore for him, painted by Norman Rockwell.
