List Of Tom Sawyer Characters

Mark Twain's series of books featuring the fictional characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn include:

  1. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876)
  2. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885)
  3. Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894)
  4. Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896)

Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn also appear in at least three unfinished Twain works, Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Among the Indians (a sequel to Huckleberry Finn), Schoolhouse Hill (a version of The Mysterious Stranger) and Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy (a sequel to Tom Sawyer, Detective). While all three uncompleted works had been posthumously published, only Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy boasts a complete plot and nearly complete story. Twain abandoned the other two works after only finishing a few chapters.

Tom Sawyer is a cunning and playful boy. He is around twelve years old. His best friends include Joe Harper and Huckleberry Finn. He has a half-brother, Sid, a cousin, Mary, and his aunt Polly.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, tom, sawyer and/or characters:

    The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    All is possible,
    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    Come dame or maid, be not afraid,
    Poor Tom will injure nothing.
    —Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 11–12)

    But that’s always the way; it don’t make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person’s conscience ain’t got no sense, and just goes for him anyway.... It takes up more room than all the rest of a person’s insides, and yet ain’t no good, nohow. Tom Sawyer thinks the same.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
