Features: This book tells the amusing childhood stories of children like Tom, Huck, and Joe. These children live in a dull town called "St. Petersburg," where the adults lead monotonous and rigid lives, but the children cannot tolerate such existence. Using the books and magazines they have read, circus performances they have watched, legendary tales and superstitions they have heard, along with their rich imagination, they create a fantastical and dreamlike world for themselves. They skip school, swim, date, fight, become pirates, rob, explore, and search for treasure, making their lives full of flavor, richness, and a strong sense of romanticism. The various adventures they encounter even leave the adults in awe, feeling inferior to them. This book comes with a free movie DVD.
