The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn opens by familiarizing us with the events of the novel that
preceded it, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Both novels are set in the town of St. Petersburg,
Missouri, which lies on the banks of the Mississippi River. At the end of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry
Finn, a poor boy with a drunken bum for a father, and his friend Tom Sawyer, a middle-class boy
with an imagination too active for his own good, found a robber’s stash of gold. As a result of his
adventure, Huck gained quite a bit of money, which the bank held for him in trust. Huck was adopted
by the Widow Douglas, a kind but stifling woman who lives with her sister, the self-righteous Miss
Watson.
