The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer - 9781944503017

The Canon Classics Worldview Series is a presents the most definitive works of Western literature with engaging and thoughtful introductions that teach students to read, appreciate, and evaluate these books as Christians. Additionally, they come with beautiful felt covers, thick stock, and a reader-friendly layout. Here is a sample from the Introduction by Douglas Wilson: 'You may have seen the 'Notice' Mark Twain put at the start of his book: 'Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot' (p. iv)... If Twain was hinting that Huck Finn had no worldview or deeper meaning in it whatsoever, then he was trying to pull the wool over your eyes--because no great stories are shallow.' Tom Sawyer lives a carefree life in the town of St. Petersburg on the Mississippi River, only needing to outwit his strict Aunt Polly or his petulant classmates upon occasion. But Tom and his best friend Huck get into real trouble when they witness a grave-robbery-turned-murder, and Tom's testimony makes him Injun Joe's next target. Not even a killer with a vendetta can halt Tom's efforts to win pretty Betty Thatcher's heart, though -- especially once reports of buried gold and unexplored caves arise--
