Mark Twain 
The adventures of Tom Sawyer 

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a children’s novel by the American writer Mark Twain; this is the first of two related works between them, the second of which, sort of ideal below, is Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In the novel are narrated the adventures of a boy who lives in the southern United States, at a time shortly before the Civil War, and is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg in Missouri, on the banks of the great Mississippi River. Places and people are partly autobiographical, inspired then the life of Twain, her family and childhood friends.
