	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Mark Twain: Tom Sawyer, Detective
		In Tom Sawyer, Detective (Chatto and Windus), Mr Clemens continues to work the vein which he struck in the concluding portion of Huck Finn, when Huck, the worshipping Bertrand of an intensely respectable Macaire, was an unwilling accomplice in the "evasion" of the nigger Jim.
		There, however, the narrator struck the right tone of semi-burlesque, and gave a very happy picture of the boy engaged in solemnly acting out one of the "wildcat tales" (Anglicé, penny dreadfuls) with which his imagination had been fed. Even so, the episode was the least interesting portion of the book.
		In this sequel, which is likely to share the proverbial fate of sequels, Mr Clemens has abandoned his attitude of irony, gone in for sensationalism, and placed Tom Sawyer, with his tendency to priggism fully developed, in the exact circumstances of "the boy detective" of the wildcat literature.

	Tom Sawyer - Danish or American?
		To trace the evolution of a thought from Plato to Spencer, or the development of a plot from Terence to Shakespeare or to point out analogies between stories that belong to the folklore of widely scattered nations is to establish new facts of interest and value in the history of the human mind.
		But when the detector without due warrant turns detective, when he assumes that he is following in the traces of a crime, when he brands a legitimate conqueror as a pirate or a highwayman, he then comes dangerously near criminality himself.
		That in some minor details "Tom Sawyer, Detective," follows the novelist's version of fact instead of the fact itself shows only (what is true) that it is through fiction and not fact that the story was first made known to English readers, though in a very short synopsis of a comparatively long fiction.
