Kick off your shoes, sit back and enjoy the world of orphaned Tom and his disreputable friend, Huckleberry Finn. Tom with his tricks and dreams of gangs and pirates, vagabond Huck fleeing a drunken father. No internet, video games or mobile phones in their world but real adventures with murder and a hidden chest of stolen gold. A wonderful funny and moving evocation of boyhood long ago.
