Tom Sawyer, Abroad
Did you get Tom Sayer Abroad when CheerUp.Fun featured it July 10, 2017?
There are some authors, and some books, that almost every one in America was assigned to read in school. Mark Twain, whether it was Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn (Huck Finn to his friends) seems to be in that category. In High School I discovered one of my favorite works by Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer Abroad. The sense of humor stuck with me… and I found myself quoting it to others for YEARS. To this day I can still relate a scene from it, because Mark Twain captured two boys on an adventure together so well… he also so perfectly captured their understanding of their world – and the fact there was still more for them to learn.
