Huckleberry no Bouken

The Widow Douglas adopts Huck at the conclusion of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as payment for saving her life. The widow tries to "civilize" the newly wealthy Huck in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which is in some ways a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Huck is taken away by his father, but he fakes his own death and flees to Jackson's Island, where he coincidentally meets Jim, a slave owned by Miss Watson, the sister of the Widow Douglas. As a result of learning that Miss Watson intends to "sell him South" for $800, Jim is attempting to escape. Together, they build a raft and sail down the Mississippi River, Huck seeking freedom from his domineering foster parent and drunken father and Jim seeking liberation from slavery.
