[오늘의 한문장] 톰 소여의 모험 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.

PREFACE

Most of the adventures record in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates of mine.
