Set in the town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, lying on the banks of the Mississippi River, 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by Mark Twain is a sequel to 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'. This book is about Huckleberry Finn who is a poor boy, and his friend, Tom Sawyer, a middle-class boy with an imagination too active for his own good. As a result of his adventures, Huck gained quite a bit of money, which the bank held for him in trust. Huck is adopted by the Widow Douglas, a kind but stifling woman. Through this book, Mark Twain delves into issues such as racism, friendship, war, religion and freedom with combination of lightheartedness and gravity. A light series of a classic work of American Literature that's funny as well as sad at times.
