The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Original Illustrations

I enjoyed Tom Sawyer a lot. Does that count?

Did Dickens write Tom Sawyer? Or Huck Finn? No, no, no. That was, um, King? Samuel Clemens. Mark Twain. Samuel Clemens. What the hell did Dickens write?

He was doing Mark Twain, like he was putting together the very first Mark Twain, which he did in North Dakota, Bismarck, North Dakota.

His, Mark Twain was insanely good, but he was just like, oh, I'm gonna just do a bunch of this material, see what's hitting, what's not.

Still amazing and fun to see it. It was really fun to see how his creative process worked, to see how he kind of boiled it down over the years.

I hadn't read Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer, any of that until maybe two months ago. I read both. Amazing.

Over the course of 1874 and 1875, Twain wrote his first solo novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Drawing from Twain's own childhood, Tom Sawyer followed the antics of a mischievous boy loosely based on Twain himself, growing up near the Mississippi River.

Tom's friend Huckleberry Finn was based on a childhood friend of Twain's, and Twain called the novel A Hymn to Boyhood.
