March 27 – April 6, 2008 Our Annual Literature to Life presentation.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer embraces the predicaments and adventures of boyhood in St. Petersburg, Missouri. Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn occupy themselves with racing bugs, impressing girls (particularly Becky Thatcher) and playing pirates on the Mississippi River. Twain’s familiar characters and scenes provide an especially good look at traditional U.S. values and Tom’s attempts to circumvent them.
