Description

Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a story of a boy's journey down the Mississippi on a raft, conveyed with the voice and experience of the American frontier. In this gorgeous new clothbound edition, designed by award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, Twain's masterpiece is presented in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

When Huck escapes from his drunken father and the 'sivilizing' Widow Douglas, he embarks on a series of adventures that draw him to feuding families and the trickery of the unscrupulous 'Duke' and 'Dauphin'. Beneath the exploits, however, are more serious undercurrents - of slavery, adult control and, above all, of Huck's struggle between his instinctive goodness and the corrupt values of society, which threaten his deep and enduring friendship with Jim.

Mark Twain's life and work are deeply intertwined, reflecting his own experiences as an itinerant type-setter, apprentice pilot, prospector, and journalist. This beautifully crafted edition is a testament to his enduring legacy as one of America's most beloved authors.
