Thomas “Tom” Sawyer is the title character of the Mark Twain novel THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER (1876). He appears in three other novels by Twain: ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN (1884), TOM SAWYER ABROAD (1894), and TOM SAWYER, DETECTIVE (1896). Sawyer also appears in at least three unfinished Twain works, HUCK AND TOM AMONG THE INDIANS, SCHOOLHOUSE HILL and TOM SAWYER’S CONSPIRACY. At the same time as all three uncompleted works were posthumously published, only Tom Sawyer’s Conspiracy has a complete plot, as Twain abandoned the other two works after finishing only some chapters.

The fictional character’s name may have been derived from a jolly and flamboyant fireman named Tom Sawyer with whom Twain was acquainted in San Francisco, California, At the same time as Twain was employed as a reporter at the San Francisco Call. Twain used to listen to Sawyer tell stories of his youth, “Sam, he would listen to these pranks of mine with great interest and he’d from time to time take ’em down in his notebook. At some point he says to me: ‘I am going to put you between the covers of a book some of nowadays, Tom.’ ‘Go ahead, Sam,’ I said, ‘but don’t disgrace my name.’ ” Twain himself said the character sprang from three people, later identified as: John B. Briggs (who died in 1907), William Bowen (who died in 1893) and Twain; on the other hand Twain later changed his story saying Sawyer was fully formed solely from his imagination, but as Robert Graysmith says, “The great appropriator liked to pretend his characters sprang fully grown from his fertile mind.” (more at wisehouse-classics.com)
A seminal work of American Literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is very important to the understanding of the American soul. The recent discovery of the first half of Twain’s manuscript, long thought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, in addition to facsimile reproductions of thirty manuscript pages, is indispensable to a full understanding of the novel. The changes, deletions, and additions made in the first half of the manuscript indicate that Mark Twain often checked his impulse to write an even darker, more confrontational book than the one he after all published.
