Mark Twain 
Adventures of Tom Sawyer 

The 1886 edition, with 151 black-and-white illustrations. According to Wikipedia: ‘Thomas ‘Tom’ Sawyer is the title character of the Mark Twain novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). He appears in three other novels by Twain: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894), and Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896)… Tom Sawyer’s best friends include Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn. In The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Tom’s infatuation with classmate Rebecca ‘Becky’ Thatcher is apparent. He lives with his half brother Sid, his cousin Mary, and his stern Aunt Polly in the (fictional) town of St. Petersburg, Missouri. In addition, he has another aunt, Sally Phelps, who lives considerably farther down the Mississippi River, in the town of Pikesville. Tom is the son of Aunt Polly’s dead sister.’
