The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Our school library has books which I like very much. One of my friends showed me a certain book in the library and said that is his
favourite book. He also said that it was the second part of the most famous Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain.

I borrowed the book from the librarian on the advice of my friend. When I went home that day, I had a quick lunch and went to my
room to start reading the book.

How interesting it was! It was a wonderful book.

The book was full of adventures.

The main character was Huckleberry Finn, who was a poor English boy. His father was a third-class alcoholic. This father wanted to
get his son’s fortune, which he get previously in yet another adventure with Tom Sawyer, his friend. So, Finn runs away from the
custody of his father and met another boy. This boy was Jim, who had been running away from a master. He had been a slave boy.

The two friends went to the sea and got on a ship. They become friendly with the seamen and went on fishing trip. They also went to
various islands in the sea and engaged themselves in many adventures. At last, they came home. Finn finds that his father had died
and he was not in danger. Jim also gets his freedom with Finn’s help.

This interesting children’s novel had been written by the well-known English Author Mark Twain. He had previously written the
famous book Tom Sawyer. Both these books are popular, even today. So, many millions of children throughout the English-speaking
world must have read these books. Much more than Tom Sawyer, it was the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which was the most
interesting book I have ever read.
