TOM SAWYER S BEST friend was Huckleberry Finn, the envy of all his con-
temporaries because he smoked a pipe and never had to wash or go to
school. But there were too many well-intentioned grown-ups wanting to
"sivilize" Huck, so he had no choice but to leave town, quietly. This book
is his own ever-memorable account of what followed.
Down the Mississippi he floated on a log raft. And his experiences,
recounted in his inimitably racy language, were legion: some hair-raising,
some hilarious, some bittersweet and haunting. On the whole he was happy.
"You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft," he decided.
Huck came to value freedom for others as well when he joined forces
with Jim, a brave and generous runaway slave. Years ahead of his time
(which was the early nineteenth century), Huck learns that the color of a
man s skin has nothing to do with his worth as an individual or his right
to freedom.
