Hardcover Book, Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, 1923 Edition, Classic Book, Fiction, Illustrated, Collectible

A wonderful classic hardcover book titled The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. This book is a 1923 edition. The book is orange with a design on the cover and title and author's name Clemens in gold on the spine.

The book tells the story of “Huck” Finn (first introduced as Tom Sawyer’s sidekick in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer), his friend Jim, and their journey down the Mississippi River on a raft. Both are on the run, Huck from his drunk and abusive father, and Jim as a runaway slave. As Huck and Jim drift down the river, they meet many colorful characters and have many great adventures. The true heart of the story, however, is the friendship between Huck and Jim. A constant theme throughout the book is Huck’s internal struggle between what he has been taught, that helping a runaway slave is a sin, and what he truly believes, that Jim is a good man and it couldn’t possibly be wrong to help him.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 – 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1875) and its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel"
