Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Read-Along)
Read-Alongs combine the large print features of TumbleReadables with the full narration of TumbleTalkingBooks!
Mark Twain (the pseudonym of writer and journalist Samuel Clemens) is one of the most loved and read American writers. Humorist, adventurer, raconteur, and sly observer of quirky customs, characters, and manners, Twain’s best loved books are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and this book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1886). Both books recall boyhood reminiscences and life on the Mississippi, translated into an easygoing, easy-to-read narrative form. While Tom Sawyer addresses more the adolescent experiences, anxieties, and fears of boyhood, Huckleberry Finn recounts the story of a boy and a runaway slave, two unlikely companions who pole a raft down the mighty Mississippi, are set upon by rogues, bounty hunters and “well-meaning” citizens, moving from one adventure to the next. The works of Mark Twain are often viewed as amusing tales of adventure, but the contemporary reader will see a much slyer Twain, and his underlying social commentary along with his keen ability to capture the spirit of an era in American history. Twain is regarded as one of the “founding fathers” of American literature and both The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer are essential reading for any student of American literature, or America itself.
