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.

    “Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.”
    —Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    “The palsy plagues my pulses”
    —Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 37)

    “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)

    “No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
