The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is an 1876 novel by American author Mark Twain about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the 1840s in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, which was inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived as a boy. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy with a vivid imagination who spends most of his time playing with his friends and avoiding his strict Aunt Polly. The novel is a nostalgic look at childhood and an exploration of themes such as freedom, adventure, and social hypocrisy.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
