The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

7521 members / 0 friends / 37 groups / 149 reviews / 276 tags

Who could forget the pranks, the adventures, the sheer fun of Tom Sawyer? It’s something every child should experience and every child will love. From Tom’s sly trickery with the whitewashed fence—when he cleverly manipulates everyone so they happily do his work for him—to his and Becky Thatcher’s calamities in Bat Cave, the enjoyment just never ends.



The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations.

Scott created these drawings in scratchboard ­ an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories.... see complete book description

    This story should be of equal interest to children and adults alike. It has timeless elements such as childhood fantasy, coming of age, young crushes, excitement and danger.

    I never got around to reading this as a kid, so I'm reading it now and enjoying it a lot. It's quite funny.
