Mark Twain wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer between 1873 and 1875, and all his own children loved it. It is a book that has been read and enjoyed all over the world for its combination of humour and fantasy. The novel gains much of its authenticity from the fact that it is really an exaggerated account of Twain’s own youth. For example, there was actually a cave full of bats situated three miles below the town of Hannibal, and it was well known to the young Samuel Clemens. For this reason, the story is particularly interesting as a record of small-town life in Missouri during the middle of the nineteenth century. And in Tom Sawyer and his friend, Huckleberry Finn, Twain has created two of the most enduring characters in American literature.
