"Tom Sawyerish..."

28 July 2023: “One of my prized boyhood possessions was a metal Band-Aid box containing teeth which I had extracted from a raccoon skull that I found by the side of the road—if that isn’t Tom Sawyerish, I don’t know what is” (Hawley 133).

I got a kick out of this charming piece by Timothy Hawley in which he reflects on his life-long love of Twain and his work printing editions of his writings.
