Actually, the main literary "legitimacy" of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is that it's a prequel to "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." The second one is ranked as far more of a classic than "Tom Sawyer," because it deals with such incredibly diverse and significant topics (slavery, maturity, paternity) in such a deft way. Next to it, "Tom Sawyer"--while a really good book, and an enjoyable read--looks a little lightweight.

Hemingway mentioned all American literature is derived from Mark Twain, and all Twain relies upon on Tom Sawyer. as long as American literature survives, Tom Sawyer would be on the outstanding of the record for those drawn to the way it began. Aunt Polly, Sidney, choose Thatcher, the widder are all "varieties" whose descendents are seen each and every evening on television.

Mark Twain was the right writer in the right place at the right time. They are a snapshot of life, well written with characters we can relate to.

Twain had a unique sense of humor, and we see that in all of his books, Tom Sawyer included. I don't know what my favorite Twain book is, but no book library should be without one.
