English edition of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
New English edition of one of the great masterpieces of American literature and Twain’s best-selling book, first printed in England in 1876. Octavo, original publisher's bright red cloth stamped in gilt and black, patterned endpapers, with illustrations by True Williams. In near fine condition. A very sharp example.
Popular and controversial at the time of publication in 1876, Mark Twain’s masterpiece The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has been adapted into dozens of film, television and theatrical productions. The quintessential tale of American boyhood established one of the most memorable characters in American literature who appeared in three later sequels including Twain’s other most notable work, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. “The first novel Mark Twain wrote without a co-author, Tom Sawyer is also his most clearly autobiographical novel enlivened by extraordinary and melodramatic events, it is otherwise a realistic depiction of the experiences, people and places that Mark Twain knew as a child” (Rasmussen, 459).
