Mark Twain's classic tale of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells of a young boy's adventures on the Mississippi River and life in the antebellum South.
Chafed by the sivilized restrictions of his foster home, and weary of his drunkard father's brutality, 14 year-old Huck Finn fakes his own death and sets off on a raft down the Mississippi River. He is soon joined by Jim, an escaped slave. Together, they experience a series of rollicking adventures that have amused readers, young and old, for over a century. The fugitives become close friends as they weather storms together aboard the raft and spend idyllic days swimming, frying catfish suppers, and enjoying their independence.
"I am a pretty big advocate for the Manga Classics editions of timeless literature because they are effective for teaching and learning on a number of levels. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an American Classic by Mark Twain, and the manga edition helps readers visualize what the complex language is trying to portray in this tale." - Teresa Crider
