There are a lot of famous books for children. One of them is «The Adventures of Tom Sawyer»,

which is a novel by Mark Twain. It was published in 1876. The novel is about a clever naughty

young boy living in a town along the Mississippi River.

Tom Sawyer is an orphan. He doesn’t have parents and lives with his Aunt Polly and half-brother,

Sid. Tom doesn’t like to do what his aunt tells him to do but he likes to trick his aunt.

They live in St. Petersburg. It is a town in the state of Missouri, on the Mississippi River. The town

is fictional, it does not really exist but it looks like the town Hannibal, in the state of Missouri,

where Twain grew up.

The first chapters describe how Tom makes his aunt angry. First he eats jam, then he gets in a fight

with another boy. As punishment, Aunt Polly orders him to whitewash a very long fence. However,

Tom makes other children believe that whitewashing is fun, and they end up giving him various

items for a turn at the fence.

All the events that take place in the novel are connected with one character and are impossible

without Tom Sawyer. Tom is a person who can overcome any problem, and nothing is impossible

for him. He looks at the difficulties as a challenge and immediately tries to solve them. He is full of

a great optimism in spite of everything bad that has happened to him.

In November 1875, Twain gave the manuscript to the American Publishing Company and the

company sent it to True Williams for the illustrations. A little later, the book was published at

Chatto and Windus of London, in June 1876, but without illustrations. Pirate editions appeared very

quickly in Canada and Germany. The American Publishing Company finally published its edition in

Have you heard about Pippi Longstocking? The collection of stories about a little girl became a

popular classic of children’s literature. Pippi is a nine-year-old girl. She lives by herself in an old

house – Villa Villekulla – with her monkey, Mr. Nilsson, and her horse. Her mother died when she

was a baby, and her father is lost at sea, but he left her with a suitcase full of gold coins, and she

believes that he will return one day.

The first chapter introduces Pippi and the children next door, Tommy and Annika. They are bored

and want a new child to come. When they first see Pippi they are happy because she has an unusual

look and behaviour.

Pippi calls them for breakfast and they become friends. She introduces them to her pets. Each

chapter describes an adventure. For example, from one of the chapters we can learn that Pippi is

“the strongest girl in the world,” and makes criminals dance with her or climb a tree. At a circus,

Pippi defeats the circus strongman.

Pippi has a lot of money but she is not greedy. She gives money to different people. She and Mr.

Nilsson help boys get out of house which is on fire when firemen cannot help them. The final

chapter describes Pippi’s 10th birthday party.

Pippi Longstocking began as stories that the author A. Lindgren told her young daughter when she

was ill; according to A. Lindgren, her daughter invented the name. A. Lindgren also became the

South Seas”. There are some films about Pippi, beginning with a Swedish film in 1949. The best
