I tried to buy copies of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn for my grandson. Leaving through both books I found them to be radically edited. I requested the original text edition and was told they have not been available for years! What a shame. Needless to say I did not buy the books. Found original text on E-bay.

By the way, when is the last time you listened to a Stephen Foster rendition? I can not remember either! Our history has been taken away from our children and grandchildren , layer by layer, from sanctimonious "we know better than you" types.

My wife talks about how the statist thugs in her country of birth changed all of the street and public place names and completely altered school text books, etc in their effort to wipe out all vestiges of the previous society . A commie is as a commie does.

My childhood copy of HF was printed in the forties & is kinda a family icon. I had it with me years ago when I was injured in a car accident & it still shows the effects.
