Publisher's Synopsis
You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain and he told the truth mainly. There was things which he stretched but mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another without it was Aunt Polly or the widow or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly-Tom's Aunt Polly she is-and Mary and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book.
