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\u003cp\u003eFor years, the Rockwell editions of \u003cem\u003eTom Sawyer\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHuckleberry Finn\u003c\/em\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\u003cp\u003ePublisher's note: These volumes present Mark Twain's text unabridged and unedited, as it appeared in the original American editions of \u003cem\u003eThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer\u003c\/em\u003e (1876) and \u003cem\u003eThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\u003c\/em\u003e (1885).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390793777197,"sku":"WHS-b92895c3af904a0d99b02a1392dc7ebe","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_b8c84ccd-4f43-4437-8ae3-dc572cfd3d23.jpg?v=1787347341","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/adventures-of-tom-sawyer-and-huckleberry-finn-norman-rockwell-collectors-edition-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
