Written by
Virginia Glasgow Koste

There have been versions of this story widely produced and enjoyed by children and adults for years.  This beloved story is broadened by Mark Twain, as the storyteller, who preserves the classic language as he relives his boyhood.

Precisely, we follow Tom's antics and inner conflicts as he enterprises his way through skipping school, whitewashing the fence and showing his bravery as a young man in a tough world.  Tom proves his manhood during the events that follow a graveyard murder, the railroading of an innocent man and a dramatic trial.

Along the way, we escape with him and his companions into the playworld of Jackson Island.  We are privileged to attend the happiest funeral in all literature as the boyish "drowned" listen to their own eulogies.
