First published in 1894, Tom Sawyer Abroad “tells in Huck Finn’s vernacular how Tom Sawyer, Huck, and the ex-slave Jim take over a power-driven balloon and navigate it across the Atlantic Ocean and the Sahara Desert to Egypt and Palestine. Mark Twain wrote the story in August 1892… Originally, he intended it to be the first of a series of stories about travels of his famous threesome to foreign lands, but he never carried the plan beyond this first volume” (Mark Twain Encyclopedia, 739).
