A seminal work of American Literature that still commands deeppraise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of HuckleberryFinn is essential to the understanding of the American soul. Therecent discovery of the first half of Twain's manu*, longthought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition,which contains for the first time omitted episodes and othervariations present in the first half of the handwritten manu*,as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manu* pages, isindispensable to a full understanding of the novel. The changes,deletions, and additions made in the first half of the manu*indicate that Mark Twain frequently checked his impulse to write aneven darker, more confrontational book than the one he finallypublished. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailableedition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
In this centenary year of the first American edition of HuckleberryFinn, Neider, who has worked long and well in the thickets of Twainscholarship (this is the ninth Twain volume he has edited), offersa most fitting tribute, for which he will be thanked in somequarters, damned in others. Neider's contribution is twofold: hehas restored to its rightful place the great rafting chapter, whichthe author had lifted from the manu*-in-progress and droppedinto Life on the Mississippi, and he has abridged some of thechildish larkiness in the portions in which Huck's friend TomSawyer intrudes into this novel. For decades, critics have lamentedthe absence of the "missing" chapter and deplored the jarringpresence of Tom in episodes that slow the narrative, but not untilnow has anyone had the temerity to set matters right. In paringback the "Tom" chapters (which he fully documents in his lengthy,spirited introduction, with literal line counts of the excisedmaterial), Neider has achieved a brisker read. Though there may besome brickbats thrown at him for this "sacrilege," few shouldobject to the belated appearance of the transplanted raftingchapter in the novel in which it clearly belongs.

From School Library Journal 
Grade 9 Up-All the highwater tales of Huck's journey are in this
abridged versionAhis faked death, the Jackson Island sojourn, the
Grangerford-Shepherdson feud, the Duke and the King, and his
reunion with Tom Sawyer. Along the way, we are treated to a sensual
feast of the sights, smells, and rhythms of the Mississippi River
and the humanistic education of Huck that culminates in his
assisting in Jim's escape. The familiar adventures of Huck and
runaway slave Jim's odyssey on a raft floating down the Mississippi
have been well documented previously in audio format with noted
versions read by Ed Begley, Will Wheaton (both from Dove), and the
1985 Grammy nominated Durkin Hayes production read by Dick Cavett.
This version, beautifully read by actor Mike McShane, is a
wonderful contribution to the recorded Twain canon. McShane handles
multiple characterizations well, but excels in Huck's folksy
narrative voice and Jim's understated power and dignity. School and
public libraries should not miss this excellent rendition.

"A GOLD MINE FOR SCHOLARS." 
*Deidre Carmody 
The New York Times 
Now, in this extraordinary literary uncovering, the original first
half of Mark Twain's American masterpiece is available for the
first time ever to a general readership. Lost for more than a
century, the passages reinstated in this edition reveal a novel
even more controversial than the version Twain published in 1885
and provide an invaluable insight into his creative process. A
breakthrough of unparalleled impact, this comprehensive edition of
an American classic is the final rebuttal in the tireless debate of
"what Twain really meant." 
"[A] MASTERLY RESTORATION . . . I wish this new version of
Huckleberry Finn would be distributed to all the nation's
classrooms as the basic text and lead to a badly needed
reconsideration of the questions it raises." 
*James A. McPherson 
Chicago Tribune
"THOUGHTFULLY RESPECTS TWAIN'S INTENTIONS." 
*Gary Lee Stonum 
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
With a Foreword and Addendum by Victor Doyno
