“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” Tom lives with his Aunt Polly, half-brother Sid, and cousin Mary in the quaint town of Saint Petersburg, just off the shore of the Mississippi River. Unlike Sid, Tom receives “lickings” from his Aunt Polly; because he would rather skip school, and often sneaks out his bedroom window at night to adventure with his friend, Huckleberry Finn. Despite his dread of schooling, Tom is extremely smart and would normally get away with his pranks if Sid were not such a tattletale. This was written by Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens: 1835 -1910). This edition was published by The Goldsmith Publishing Co. [publication date unknown].
