Children's Classics

Huckleberry Finn was published in 1884. It tells the story of a young boy, Huckleberry Finn, the friend of Tom Sawyer, and his adventures on and around the great Mississippi River with a runaway slave, Jim. Essential Classics is a wonderful new series that offers a quick way into a range of exciting stories. Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original.
