The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Also known as Tom Sawyer
Synopsis
Tom would rather be a pirate than whitewash a fence, and he is talented at getting other people to want the chore. Twain’s St. Petersburg is comic until a midnight graveyard makes the games suddenly real, and a boy has to decide whether a story he invented can send a man to prison.
