Widely considered one of the greatest American novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells the story of Huck Finn and his companion, the slave Jim, as they journey down the Mississippi river after running away from Huck’s alcoholic father and Jim’s owners.

As they travel, they encounter a floating house, feuding families and cunning grifters, but more importantly Huck gets to know Jim and regard him as a friend and equal, overcoming the racial prejudices of the time, in a landmark narrative which poignantly addresses the issues of growing up and finding freedom.

River Adventure

I enjoyed this one less.

Huck escaping the intolerable civility of Widow Douglas meets Jim - they aim for freedom down the Mississippi.

Cons, violence, slavery. It's a powerful story of friendship that is often very difficult to read.
