The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn:

Paperback (Penguin Classics Oct. 27, 2009) , Deluxe edition
The classic boyhood adventure tale in a beautiful Deluxe Edition illustrated by Lilli CarreMark Twain's tale of a boy's picaresque journey down the Mississippi on a raft conveyed the voice and experience of the American frontier as no other work had done before. When Huck escapes from his drunken father and the 'sivilizing' Widow Douglas with the runaway slave Jim, he embarks on a series of adventures that draw him to feuding families and the trickery of the unscrupulous 'Duke' and 'Dauphin'. Beneath the exploits, however, are more serious undercurrents - of slavery, adult control and, above all, of Huck's struggle between his instinctive goodness and the corrupt values of society, which threaten his deep and enduring friendship with Jim.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
