{"product_id":"tom-sawyer-companion","title":"Tom Sawyer Companion","description":"Like most authors, Mark Twain wrote from personal experience, but, unlike many authors, he left behind a wealth of autobiographical material recording those personal experiences.  His autobiography, letters, speeches, and notebooks contain many references to events similar to those presented in \u003ci\u003eTom Sawyer\u003c\/i\u003e.  This book, in some measure, satisfies those whose curiosity is piqued by that simple admission by Twain.  Evans edits and juxtaposes excerpts from \u003ci\u003eThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer\u003c\/i\u003e with excerpts from Twain's personal writings.  Evans presents forty-six episodes, in order of occurrence, from \u003ci\u003eTom Sawyer\u003c\/i\u003e; he adds editorial commentary only in order to clarify links between plot synopsis and autobiographical material.  The result is an overview of Twain's childhood with a focus on the events that shaped his life and art.","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256207987032,"sku":"9780819190604","price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780819190604_162ff581-9294-45ec-b54b-7d42549c7d51.jpg?v=1769698835","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/tom-sawyer-companion","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
