Early reissue of the first edition of the best-selling of Twain's works during his lifetime, a cornerstone of American literature, formatted and bound exactly as the first printing of 1876. Octavo, original publisher's royal blue cloth decorated in gilt and black, illustrated with frontispiece and numerous in-text illustrations. In near fine condition. A very sharp example.
Popular and controversial at the time of publication in 1876, Mark Twain’s masterpiece The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has been adapted into dozens of film, television and theatrical productions. The quintessential tale of American boyhood established one of the most memorable characters in American literature who appeared in three later sequels including Twain’s other most notable work, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. “The first novel Mark Twain wrote without a co-author, Tom Sawyer is also his most clearly autobiographical novel enlivened by extraordinary and melodramatic events, it is otherwise a realistic depiction of the experiences, people and places that Mark Twain knew as a child” (Rasmussen, 459).
