Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel by Mark
Twain, first published in England in December 1884 and later in the United States. Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among
the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular
English, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first
person by Huckleberry Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two
other Twain novels. It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
