These books are exact reproductions of first edition prints of Mark Twain’s most iconic works, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Reissued for the first time in their original form by expert literary preservationists and publishers Charles Winthrope & Sons, the novels have the same debossed and gilded covers, 19th century illustrations and bindings, and typographical errors of the first editions. The original typeface and illustrations by True Williams (Sawyer) and E.W. Kemble (Finn) are meticulously reproduced, bringing to life the misadventures of Tom Sawyer and deft social criticisms of the uneducated, yet prescient Huckleberry Finn. Published in 1876 and 1885, respectively, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn—considered the first great American novels—remain valued literary teaching tools and captivating reads. Both books come with supplemental material detailing the evolution of the novels and removable dust jackets that help protect their heirloom quality. (6 lbs.)
