	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
		With the publishing of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain introduced the two immortal characters of Tom and Huckleberry to the "Hall of Fame" of American literature, as well as re-invented the traditional frontier tale.
		Critics agree that the story is often overshadowed by the novel's sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; but there is no doubt that Tom Sawyer is considered among one of the greatest pieces of American fiction, particularly with Twain's exceptional ability to capture the "idylls of boyhood" with such vivid and dramatic detail.
		Tom's adventures are closely tied with ghost lore, haunted houses, witchcraft, and animal lore; this theme of the superstition and folklore is a common thread in many of Twain's works and exhibits his firsthand knowledge of the popular beliefs of inhabitants of the Mississippi Valley.

	Tom Sawyer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Twain captures the essence of Tom's school with his usual insight and wit, and since this is Tom's story, it delivers a child-centered view of education as free of the adult perspective as one can expect from an adult author.
		Twain makes clear in his preface to "Tom Sawyer" that the book is a fictionalized portrayal of his own experiences and those of his childhood friends.
		Tom and his schoolmates loved school neither more nor less than students do now, and they completed their schoolwork with the varying degrees of care and effort that continue to frustrate today's teachers and parents.

	Review - AUDIO BOOK: The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
		The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a piece of literature bound in innumerable ways to contemporary story and character.
		Tom Sawyer's youthful restlessness predates Holden Caufield's by 100 years - Jim's struggle with racism mirrors that of Ellison's unnamed, but poignant Invisible Man. Twain's fable is so knitted into the American fabric and all that is good and ill in this country that it still sparkles famously with controversy today.
		Directed by Ronald A. Feinberg, this rendition of Tom Sawyer is just under eight hours and full of so much country twang and frolicking tone it is easy to feel seamless transfer to that stretch along the mighty Mississippi that spawned the tale.

		Though Tom’s irresponsibility leads to his getting himself and Becky lost in the cave, he acts with resourcefulness, courage and compassion and is able to get both of them out.
