For each book, Rockwell created eight full-colour paintings and numerous pen-and-ink drawings, the product of extensive on-the-ground research in Twain''s hometown of Hannibal, Missouri. Famously, Rockwell even tried to buy some Hannibal residents'' old clothes, to dress his models in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor years, the Rockwell editions of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn have been unavailable in stores. Now, Abbeville Press is proud to reissue them as a handsome new clothbound set. The colour plates are reproduced from new photography of Rockwell''s original paintings, the typesetting has been done anew to a high standard, and new introductions - illustrated with Rockwell''s rarely seen preliminary sketches - examine this unique encounter between two legendary chroniclers of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available: \u003cem\u003eTreasure Island\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKidnapped\u003c\/em\u003e boxed set ISBN 9780789214089\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57558506963326,"sku":"NW9780789213679","price":29.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780789213679.jpg?v=1783094801","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/adventures-of-tom-sawyer-huckleberry-f","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
