Published in 1963. Written in 1876. Mark Twain based this wonderful adventure story on episodes in his and his friends lives when boys. He includes superstitions that were prevalent in his boyhood. His hope (which is today an actuality) is that it would be enjoyed not only by children but also by adults.
