Book Description

Labeled as subversive and politically controversial, Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was banned for its use of racial slurs and for portraying a mischievous, “unruly” protagonist as a poor role model. As part of Dover’s Banned Books series, this edition explores the novel’s historical context, its censorship battles, and its bold, enduring commentary on race and society.
