《汤姆·索亚历险记》是世界上最伟大的儿童文学作品之一，素有美国“黄金时代”的田园牧歌之称。作者以欢快而富有本土特色的笔调生动，细致地描绘出这群少年儿童自由活泼的心灵，同时对庸俗鄙陋的社会习俗、伪善的宗教教义和刻板无趣的学校教育给予了尖锐、辛辣的讽刺，用作者的话说，这部小说主要是为了娱乐孩子们，但同时也希望成年人不要因为是一本童书而将其束之高阁。

THE old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the room; then she put them up and looked out under them. She seldom or never looked through them for so small a thing as a boy;they were her state pair, the pride of her heart, and were built for "style", not service-she could have seen through a pair of stove-lids just as well. She looked perplexed for a moment, and then said, not fiercely, but still loud enough for the furniture to hear:

"Well, I lay if I get hold of you I'll-"

She did not finish, for by this time she was bending down and punching under the bed with the broom, and so she needed breath to punctuate the punches with. She resurrected nothing but the cat.

"I never did see the beat of that boy!"
