Even many years after writing the novel, Mark Twain remembered his Huck—a runaway, streetwise boy—“the romantic drifter,” as the dearest hero to him.
It’s an engaging story of real friendship between the rascal Huckleberry Finn and a fugitive enslaved Black man. Fleeing their pursuers, this strange pair sets off on an unpredictable journey across the wild expanses of the Mississippi. Along the way, the heroes encounter so many unbelievable adventures and unusual meetings that there would be enough for several stories!
