My mum was never too keen on TV, so we kids all went to the library and got books out. Right from the start, I loved the works of Mark Twain. Every time I read about Tom Sawyer, I’d go out and do something low-level naughty, just like him. John Grisham
I first read ‘Tom Sawyer’ when I was in 8th grade, 13 years old. I realised since that Mark Twain just bottled what it felt like to be a child. Jeff Nichols
‘Tom Sawyer’ could have been written eight months ago, with the kind of response it still gets. Alex Lifeson
In ‘Huckleberry Finn,’ I have drawn Tom Blankenship exactly as he was. He was ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had as good a heart as ever any boy had. Mark Twain
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. Ernest Hemingway
I lived an idyllic ‘Huckleberry Finn’ life in a tiny town. Climbing trees. Tagging after brothers. Happy. Barefoot on my pony. It was ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’-esque. Sissy Spacek
