Description: To get away from his violent, drunken father, Huckleberry Finn fakes his own death and lives wild in the woods. He soon meets Jim, a runaway slave, and the two outcasts set off on a dangerous journey down the mighty Mississippi River, in search of freedom. Huck's chronicle of their adventures, and the amazing characters he meets along the way, is one of the great American classics.
