MS BookS Publishing presents Mark Twain's series of books featuring the fictional characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Over the years these stories have been heavily edited, abridged, and simplified to reach a juvenile market with illustrations showing Tom and Huck as 8-10-year-old boys; Mark Twain clearly intended the main characters to behave and talk as boys, 12-13 years of age —the artwork features precocious boys, about to become young adults; in Schoolhouse Hill, Mark Twain gives us the age of the new school boy as 15 —so that's that. This publication intends to represent truthfully and in detail the original manuscripts of the author, so the text is unabridged and untouched by editors or librarians—ALERT: If you are easily offended by colorful 19th Century Slang, this publication is not for you. This MS BookS Publication includes: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876); Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884); Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894, a parody of Jules Verne's adventure stories); Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896, a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer); Schoolhouse Hill (1898, a version of The Mysterious Stranger, unfinished). Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer among the Indians, Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy, and Tom Sawyer's Gang Plans a Naval Battle —were stories Twain abandoned after a few chapters and not included in this collections.
