Description
The story begins in fictional St. Petersburg, Missouri, on the shore of the Mississippi River, sometime between 1835 and 1845. Huck has been placed under the guardianship of the Widow Douglas, who, together with her sister, Miss Watson, is attempting to civilize him. Huck appreciates their efforts, but finds civilized life confining. Pap, Huck's drunk abusive father, forcibly gains custody of him and moves him to his backwoods cabin. During one of his father's absences Huck escapes, elaborately fakes his own murder, and sets off down the Mississippi River on an adventure!
