HC w/o DJ - This beautiful antique edition of The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is in good condition considering it’s age. Significant foxing and discoloration, rubbing along edges, spine slightly loose from book block but still secure, some water marks along edges, small hole on spine, tears on a few pages (see photos). Pages unmarked and only a little tanned. Cloth cover with pastedown title/illustration still in good shape. Illustration is clear. Title on spine is faded though still legible. This book is readable, but more suited as a collectible. DESCRIPTION A consummate prankster with a quick wit, Tom Sawyer dreams of a bigger fate than simply being a “rich boy.” Yet through the novel’s humorous escapades—from the famous episode of the whitewashed fence to the trial of Injun Joe—Mark Twain explores the deeper themes of the adult world, one of dishonesty and superstition, murder and revenge, starvation and slavery.
