It was during this period of uncertainty that Twain made a pilgrimage to the scenes of his childhood in Hannibal, Missouri, a trip that led eventually to Life on the Mississippi. Twain began Huckleberry Finn the same year Tom Sawyer was published, but he was unable to complete it for several more. Tom Sawyer “is simply a hymn,” said its author, “put into prose form to give it a worldly air,” a book where nostalgia is so strong that it dissolves the tensions and perplexities that assert themselves in the later works. This Library of America collection presents his best-known works, together for the first time in one volume. Mark Twain is perhaps the most widely read and enjoyed of all our national writers.
