he Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn (Penguin) – Mark Twain

‘Right is right and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better.’

Along the Mississippi River, in the pre-civil war days, lived a mischievous and independent little boy Huckleberry Finn. The American Society in that era was brimming with policies that were discriminating and little boys like him who were oppressed.

Huck seeking freedom runs away from his abusive father and fakes his own death to escape the constraints of civilization. On his journey, he befriends Jim an escaped slave who is also on the run, seeking freedom from the shackles of slavery.

Huck and Jim form a strong friendship, stemming from their boyish innocence and the glimmering dreams they hold in their eyes. Their adventures take the reader back to the bittersweet years of growing up.

Will these little boys grow up to build the lives they dream?
