One of American literature`s best-loved classics, this entertaining tale about a good `bad boy` has thrilled generations of readers since it was first published in 1876. `Tom Sawyer` chronicles the escapades of a mischievous but well-meaning young lad who - in Twain`s words - `was not the Model Boy of the village. He knew the model boy very well though - and hated him`.
