Again we meet his world famous characters: Tom Sawyer, Nigger Jim, and Huck Finn - together now on a fantastical balloon journey across the Atlantic to meet lions and Bedouins in the Sahara and retrace something of Twain's own expedition to the Holy Land in his best-selling The Innocents Abroad (1869). Later, in Tom Sawyer Detective (1896), Twain returns us the banks of the Mississippi and a murder mystery involving identical twins and stolen diamonds. The author is back in his formative territory, the region his imagination could never leave behind. It provides him with another comedy of human foibles starring the irrepressible Tom Sawyer. 541 $d 20200226. 650 $a Sawyer, Tom (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 $a Adventure stories, American. 700 $a Firkins, Terry. 700 $a Beard, Daniel Carter, $d 1850-1941. 700 $a Frost, A.
