The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The perfect gift for a young adventurer.


Share your beloved childhood stories with the next generation!


Robert Ingpen's illustrations create a real sense of time, place and character: each drawing an enchanting evocation of a distant time in the American South.

Mark Twain called his classic tale a 'hymn to boyhood', and this unforgettable story of a boy growing up in a small town on the Mississippi has become an all-time favourite: not just in America, but around the world. The original boyhood hero, the irrepressible Tom Sawyer is an irresistible mix of exuberance, bad behaviour and bravado.

A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the world's best loved stories.
