World reading for schoolchildren is an edition of richly illustrated, sensitively retold and abridged works of world literature. Mark Twain's inspiration for writing the story of the big-hearted streetwalker Tom Sawyer was probably the memories of his own childhood and youth. Tom is brought up by his kind and strict aunt. Tom is a bit of a bum and likes to wander around town. And so, during a night trip to the cemetery, he witnesses a murder. And the real adventure begins.
