The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Thryft

Mischievous boy's coming of age story.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a classic tale about a mischievous boy named Tom who enjoys playing pranks with his friends. However, after witnessing a murder, Tom begins to mature and becomes more aware of his own morality. This book is perfect for those who enjoy coming of age stories and appreciate a glimpse into the past. Twain's writing style is both entertaining and thought-provoking, as he satirises society's moral rigidity while giving a nostalgic portrayal of a young boy's journey into adulthood.

Description

Now he found out a new thing -- namely, that to promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing.An idyllic snapshot of a boy's childhood along the banks of the Mississippi River, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is said to be based on Twain's own experiences. Mischievous and full of energy, Tom enjoys childish pranks and pastimes with his friends, and town outcast, Huck Finn. However, one night Huck and Tom witness the local vagabond, Injun Joe, commit a murder at the town graveyard and so begins their swift journey into adulthood. A coming-of-age tale, Tom's adventures gives a nostalgic portrayal of boyhood and it remains one of Twain's most well-loved novels.
