Almost every page has at least one illustration and there are several double-page spreads. The trim size is a bit larger than that of most novels, allowing for a comfortable print size. The result is a combination picture story/social commentary on the period.

Sarasota"Twain's Masterpiece!" according to Sarasota2kTwain's Masterpiece! Sarasota2k4 Enrest Hemingway declared American fiction begins and ends with Huckleberry Finn, and he's correct. Twain's most famous novel is arguably his best. There are several instances in the book that are hilarious, but when I completed the book, I also realized I had read something profound.

I feel so lucky to have found these books (I got the Tom Sawyer companion book, too.). My friend and I went to Hannibal, MO over the Memorial Day weekend. What a treat!
