"All I wanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a
change, I warn't particular."
Huckleberry Finn gets his chance for adventure when he finds a drifting canoe and uses it to escape from his drunken father. He meets old Jim, a runaway slave, and together they journey down the great Mississippi River. They encounter the strangest of people on their travels, and have several very narrow escapes.
The story of Huck and Jim's fantastic and terrifying experiences - which follows on from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer - is an exciting account of life in the Deep South a century ago, and a great American classic.
