The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain

It is the story of Huckleberry Finn, the boy who refuses to be reformed and learn the right things. All he wants is to be free and have adventures—to be a member of a gang! He escapes from his drunken father and sails down the Mississippi, in his raft. He meets Jim, who also escapes, to avoid being sold as a slave. Together they get into many difficult situations. With his quick thinking and amazing ability to spin yarns he escapes everytime. Finally he and his old friend Tom Sawyer join hands to rescue their friend Jim from slavery. Do they succeed?
