| Publisher Description: The little-known sequel to "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." This unjustly neglected work, among the most enjoyable of Mark Twain's novels, follows Tom, Huck, and Jim as they travel across the Atlantic in a balloon in a parody of Jules Verne-esque adventure stories. When Tom, Huck Finn, and Jim go to see the unveiling of an experimental airship, they are kidnapped by the inventor, who plans to fly around the world and crash the ship in flames. The Professor, as he is called, is determined to prove the value of his invention to the unbelieving world, and then sink it and all aboard into the ocean so the world can never learn its secrets. But when the madman falls overboard during an Atlantic storm, Tom and his friends are left to their own devices on the out-of-control airship. Complete and unabridged. |
