Tom Sawyer Abroad; Tom Sawyer, Detective

This delightful and (in its way) almost obscure Tom Sawyer story picks up in the aftermath of Tom and Huck's triumphal return from the pages of Huckleberry Finn: Tom, always looking for trouble, finds it when he sets out to become Hannibal's First Traveler. Tom, Huck, and Jim find themselves kidnapped by a mad inventor, sailing cross the Atlantic and into Arabian adventure -- and that's only the beginning

Highly recommended; like all of Twain, a pleasure to read. Tom Sawyer Abroad features Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a parody of adventure stories like those of Jules Verne.
