Mark Twain

Tom Sawyer Abroad Illustrated Mark Twain

Tom, Huck, and Jim are swept up in a futuristic air balloon and whisked across the ocean to Arabia, where they tour the Sahara. Driven with interest to see a marvelous traveling balloon, the three find themselves essentially kidnapped as they're the last ones off the craft, and whisked away into the skies. The balloon is easy enough to handle for the ever-adventurous Tom and after a few mishaps; they sit back and enjoy the skies.
