Tom Sawyer Abroad / Tom Sawyer, Detective: Volume 2 -- Mark Twain

These unjustly neglected works, among the most enjoyable of Mark Twain's novels, follow Tom, Huck, and Jim as they travel across the Atlantic in a balloon, then down the Mississippi to help solve a mysterious crime. Both with the original illustrations by Dan Beard and A.B. Frost.<br /><br />"Do you reckon Tom Sawyer was satisfied after all them adventures? No, he wasn't. It only just pisoned him for more." So Huck declares at the start of these once-celebrated but now little-known sequels to his own adventures. Tom, Huck, and Jim set sail to Africa in a futuristic air balloon, where they survive encounters with lions, robbers, and fleas and see some of the world's greatest wonders.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Mark Twain<br><b>Publisher:</b> University of California Press<br><b>Published:</b> 11/01/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780520271517
