This audio CD is not a reading of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but a version by popular storyteller Jim Weiss. As always, he does a bang-up job of introducing the story for younger ones, retaining the flavor of the author's tone and language.
A wonderful old classic!
" The famous tale of a boy's life in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi River."
I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT ITS A HARDCOVER BOOK NOT A AUDIO CASSETTE.
Classic story. This is the story that has made Twain famous, and has been made and remade into countless movies. But no matter what, the book is always the best!
Complete and Unabridged...Tom Sawyer lives to have fun, adventure, trills...even if that sometimes means he has to sort of lie a little, cheat a bit, play tricks, chase girls, skip school, run away from home-even attend his own funeral! But everyone knows Tom's just playing, so he always talks his way out of trouble, and lands on his feet...
The ISBN displayed correctly but showed a different book. That is why the ISBN on the back cover of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is different from the ISBN displayed on the screen. Tom lives to have fun, adventures, thrills, even if that sometimes means he has to sor of lie a little, cheat a bit, play tricks, chase girls, skip school, run away from home-even attend his own funeral! But everyone know Tom's just playing, so he ALWAYS talks his way out of trouble, and lands on his feet...
Children version. Abridged.
The inimitable Tom Sawyer. We all love him.
Tom's got more energy and mischief than one boy should possess. His little jokes and tricks get by since he tells everyone that he's just being Tom. Does he really care about the house and since he realizes that He'll be rewarned now but Tom and the gang can't find him.
This version of Tom Sawyer isn't the full version.
A classic, I guess, but I don't see what is so loved about it. Perhaps if I was 12 when I read it I'd have felt differently, but in my early 40's, it just didn't seem all that good or important.
This is one in the series sold by Readers Digest in The Great Classics for Children.
It has large print for a budding reader to tackle and is the condensed version, which includes an introduction that says read the full version when your ready.

Excellent classic tale.
Loved it!
A great introduction to classic literature for young or reluctant readers. Great illustrations!
No one would ever accuse carefree Tom Sawyer of being a genius. Unless you mean having a genius for trouble. For there isn't a scheme in the world Tom won't cook up to get out of having to do his chores. The truth is Tom likes to have fun, whether it's digging for treasure in a haunted house, exploring dark and mysterious underground caves, playing pirates on rafts downriver with his best friend, Huck Finn, or faking his own funeral.But when he and Huck witness a midnight murder, the real trouble begins. For the murderer is none other than Injun Joe. And now joe is looking for Tom!
I figured out why they don't have kids read this book for school. They would think theirs is perfectly good English and there is no need to learn any.
Tom has a genius for adventure! Excellent storytelling! Beautifully written!!!!
Mark Twain's Classic story is a very entertaining read. This is a complete and unabridged version. I enjoyed rereading this one even more as an adult than I did in high school.
I love sharing one of my favorite childhood books with my kids! It was an adventure in reading!
This is a classic book that all children should read. My son said he loved reading it.
Great book!I LOVED IT!
Hanging out with the town outcast, "running away" to a nearby river island, flirting with the girls, and basically driving the adults nuts, Tom Sawyer is 100% American boy. In him Mark Twain managed to capture the adventure, mischief, and complete innocence of childhood. If there's a child or adult out there who hasn't read it yet, give them a copy. It's quite simply one of the best kids stories ever told.
I had a hard time getting into this book. My book club had a good time discussing it.
Mark Twain was nothing short of genius, and this book is the perfect evidence of that fact. The beauty of Mark Twain's stories is that he speaks from the true point of view of his characters, as if the reader is also one of the townsfolk he's describing. The author admits that Tom is based on his own boyhood---perhaps that is why he spins the tale so perfectly. In any case, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is not only a classic and an unobstructed view into small town life of the past, but a fun casual read that I enjoy as much as an adult as I did as a child.
Tom Sawyer is my favorite Mark Twain book. I never get tired of his adventures with Huck Finn, Becky & Aunt Polly! A true American Classic and a must-read!
Very light hearted and interesting. Well written.
Could Not put it down!! Loved it!
A ggod cd by the master Mark Twain.
A real classic, great book.
A "must" read. Most of us had to read it at one time or another in school but it never loses it charm. Tom, who really is quite an upright little man even if Aunt Polly constantly despairs of him and Huck who has just been thrown away by his "paw." Becky has already acquired her femal wiles and they all have their great adventure in the cave with a real live honest-to-good mean Indian who would just as soon kill you as see you. Always a good read and then go on to read "Huck Finn" and "Puddinghead Wilson" and "An American Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Oh heck read them all, Mark Twain was, is and will be an American treasure with a sense of irony and humor to laugh at ourselves.
A Classic!
Never read, Great condition.
I always enjoyed this book
