Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer's Companion)

New York: Charles L. Webster and Co, 1886. Hardcover. Very Good. Early American edition. The English edition preceded the first American by a year and was issued in 1885. Green cloth gilt. Front fly lacking, one signature a little sprung but tight, light fraying and wear at the corners and spine ends, but a sound and attractive very good copy. Small book label of author Larry McMurtry on front pastedown, and McMurtry's neat pencil signature on the front fly. One of the most beloved and regarded novels of American literature, Twain's masterpiece and one of the indisputable candidates for the Great American Novel. McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel *Lonesome Dove* seems, like *Huckleberry Finn*, to be a great picaresque adventure, and likely was informed and inspired by the dark humor of the earlier novel. Johnson Highspot of American Literature. Blanck, *Peter Parley to Penrod.*.
