For each book, Rockwell created eight full-color paintings and numerous pen-and-ink drawings, the product of extensive on-the-ground research in Twain’s hometown of Hannibal, Missouri. Famously, Rockwell even tried to buy some Hannibal residents’ old clothes, to dress his models in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor years, the Rockwell editions of \u003ci\u003eTom Sawyer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHuckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e have been unavailable in stores. Now, Abbeville Press is proud to reissue them as a handsome new clothbound set. The color plates are reproduced from new photography of Rockwell’s original paintings, the typesetting has been done anew to a high standard, and new introductions—illustrated with Rockwell’s rarely seen preliminary sketches—examine this unique encounter between two legendary chroniclers of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher’s note: These volumes present Mark Twain’s text unabridged and unedited, as it appeared in the original American editions of \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer\u003c\/i\u003e (1876) and \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e (1885).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Twain\u003c\/b\u003e was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), the great American writer and humorist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNorman Rockwell\u003c\/b\u003e (1894–1978) is one of America’s most celebrated artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n                        \n                        \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43216856580257,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780789213679","price":59.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/products\/9780789213679.jpg?v=1694731890","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-adventures-of-tom-sawyer-and-huckleberry-finn-hardcover-by-mark-twain-norman-rockwell","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
