This rollicking adventure novel brings back Twains bestloved charactersTom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and the freed slave Jimfor a balloon trip around the world. Escaping civilization and Aunt Polly once again, this lively tale of faroff exploits is, as Twain wrote, "a story that will not only interest boys but any man who has ever been a boy, which immensely enlarges the audience." The books comic tall tales and bold escapades are punctuated by a series of animated conversations among the three friends on topics that include the Crusades, religious toleration, racial discrimination, the limitations of maps, and the fine art of cursing. Tom and Jim rescue a child from brigands. Jim finds himself alone atop the Sphinx with an American flag. Adventure, burlesque, and serious commentary on society and its failings make Tom Sawyer Abroad an engaging and memorable book.
