The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: 100th Anniversary Collection

Nice book

This book will be an interesting read. Perfect condition, second half to the Huckleberry Finn book. Thank you.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the first book I've read by Mark Twain. I read The Story of a Bad Boy by Thomas Bailey Aldrich last fall to my younger boys. It's said to be the book that inspired Mark Twain to write Tom Sawyer. We all loved it and highly recommend reading it! We enjoyed it so much that I knew I wanted to read Tom Sawyer to my kids, too. I'm happy to say we all loved it, too. Tom gets himself into scrape after scrape and you just can't help, but love him as Aunt Polly would say. We're looking forward to continuing on with Huckleberry Finn next.I read the Seawolf Press edition, one of the 100th Anniversary Collection, which has the original 160 illustrations. The illustrations are so neat and the edition is wonderfully put together using fonts that were common 100 years ago when the author passed away. I can't recommend these editions highly enough. I love facsimile editions and Seawolf Press puts out some of the best.

Hâte de le lire pour me replonger dans mon enfance !

Statt sich die First Edition mühsam aus einer Bibliothek auszuleihen und anschließend noch mühsamer einzuscannen bzw auszudrucken oder sich für teures Geld auf dem Antiquariatsmarkt zu kaufen, bekommt man eine saubere Replik für wenig Geld ins Haus geliefert. Der Text entspricht dem Original mit allen (wenigen) kleinen Fehlerchen, und die sehr vielen Zeichnungen entsprechen dem Stil der damaligen Zeit (1876) und sind recht eindrucksvoll. Coole Ausgabe eines legendären Buches!
