Mark Twain's novels are filled with humor, wit, and astounding insight into the world of the 19th-century United States. Written entirely in the vernacular, these classic satirical tales exposed the bigotry and hypocrisy of American life. The cheerful Tom Sawyer, the goodnatured Huck Finn, the independent Hank Morgan, and the well-meaning Tom Canty are quintessential Twain characters, full of life, verve, and a sense of justice they often felt was missing from the world around them.

Mark Twain wrote a vast number of pieces of light humorous verse, news articles and pieces of social criticism, but it was not until the later years of his career that he was to combine the experience he obtained from these to create his classic novels. With his characteristic wit, he took the experience of his youth to build the characters of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn and he took the historical settings of medieval England to produce scathing and wildly entertaining satires.

Included in this collection are four of his greatest and most popular novels: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and The Prince and the Pauper. They are the perfect introduction to the work of one of America's foremost talents.
