"This is the definitive critical edition of "Huckleberry Finn" you've been waiting for. Ingenious textual detective work rescues Twain at last from hundreds of careless errors by typists, typesetters and proofreaders. The fascinating explanatory notes help us decode allusions that were familiar to readers in Twain's time but are obscure today, while the reproduced manuscript pages let us compare for the first time first and final drafts of some of the book's most memorable passages. This splendid book belongs in every library, home, and literature classroom."--Shelley Fisher Fishkin, author of "Lighting Out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture" and Editor of "The Oxford Mark Twain.

To borrow from one of the Connecticut Yankee's walking ads, 'All the Prime-Donne will use it.'"--Louis J. Budd, author of "Our Mark Twain" and "Mark Twain: The Contemporary Reviews"
