Tom Sawyer Abroad - Softcover
This delightful and (in its way) almost obscure Tom Sawyer story picks up in the aftermath of Tom and Huck's triumphal return from the pages of Huckleberry Finn: Tom, always looking for trouble, finds it when he sets out to become Hannibal's First Traveler. Tom, Huck, and Jim find themselves kidnapped by a mad inventor, sailing cross the Atlantic and into Arabian adventure -- and that's only the beginning!
Highly recommended; like all of Twain, a pleasure to read. Tom Sawyer Abroad features Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a parody of adventure stories like those of Jules Verne.

About the Author:
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer. Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel". Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he invested in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its complexity and imprecision. In the wake of these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers eventually overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
