Summary |
"1846 - the Mississippi River; North America. Huck Finn is fourteen years old. He lives in the town of St. Petersburg. He lives in Mrs Douglas' house. She is a kind woman. But Huck is not happy there. Everything in his life is boring. He does not want to go to school. He does not want to wear clean clothes. He does not want to sleep in a soft bed every night. Then, one day, Huck's father comes back to the town. He wants Huck's money. He has been drinking whisky. He is very drunk. He hits Huck. 'He will kill me soon,' Huck thinks. 'I must escape. I must leave St Petersburg.'" --Cover. |
