<p> Preface
<p> Most of the adventures recorded in this book really
occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those
of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from
life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual -- he is a
combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and
therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.
<p> The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent
among children . . .
