THE ADVENTURES TOM SAWYER Mark Twain By " a man who willbe remembered withthe great humo- «-i^ ris.ts. .of all time, with Cervantes, with Swift, or with any others worthy of his company; none of them was his equal in humanity. It is in vain that I try to give a notion of the intensity with which he pierced to the heart of Hfe, and the breadth of vision with which he compassed the whole world, and tried for the reason of things and then left trying.

Sawyer By Mark Twain Brander Matthews said ofif ''Inno book inour language, to my mind, has the boy, simply as a boy, been better realized than in this book." Besides being an hilarious story,TomSatvyerimmorta.lizes the daily life of picturesque Missouri in the early part of thenineteenth century. Most of the adventures ot Tom and Huck Finn actually oc- curred, some of them to Mark Twain himself in his boyhood. "How can we measure the joy this book has given and will go on giving.'' Decade after decade, the book goes on and on, until now we must almost say it goes on fromgenerationtogeneration. Certainly that is where it /i going."
