Review
(in full The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) Novel by Mark Twain, published in 1876. Tom Sawyer, an enduring narrative of youthful escapades, is perhaps Twain's best book for a juvenile audience. The setting is a small Mississippi River town in the 1830s, and the characters are the grownups and the children of the town. The book's nostalgic attitude and its wistful re-creation of pre-Civil War life are humorously spiced by its main character, Tom Sawyer. Rather than the preternaturally "model boy" of Sunday-school stories, Tom is mischievous and irresponsible but goodhearted. Although Thomas Bailey Aldrich's Story of a Bad Boy was published seven years before it, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn changed the course of American writing and gave the first deeply felt vision of boyhood in juvenile literature. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
