Our take on the Oxford Children's Classics The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, (Paperback)

This is Mark Twain's unabridged novel of Huck Finn and Jim rafting down the Mississippi to escape slavery and a brutal father. The Oxford Children's Classics edition adds background material and reading recommendations around the full text. It suits confident middle-grade readers and adults revisiting the book. Against plainer school editions, the extra notes help with context, though the story's dated language about race needs discussion.
