Everett’s breezy, fast-moving retelling of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) is about putting in some due respect.

On a chilly winter morning of November 2010, I came across a story that would stamp my childhood permanently. It was the winter vacation and the school finals were just over. While playing board games at one of my friend’s, I found quite a picturesque book filled with illustrations and art. It was titled, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876).

Mark Twain is an indispensable name as far as American literature is concerned. The American Romantic Movement that emerged during 19th century with strong transcendental underpinnings reached its cliff through the striking and fabulous novels and stories by Stephen Crane, Herman Melville and Mark Twain.
