Is Huckleberry Finn a children's book?
Do you consider Huckleberry Finn to be a children's book? The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is, but I am not sure about Huckleberry Finn. I read Tom Sawyer as a boy and enjoyed it. I started reading Huckleberry Finn, but it was quite long. iirc I enjoyed it at first, then started to get bored with it, and then put it down. Maybe if it had stopped at the end of chapter 16, which I think may have been Twain's original plan, it could have been a children's book. In the chapter I read today, all those confused lines from Shakespeare's plays, and the mixing up for comedic effect of Henry VIII, 1001 Nights and The Domesday book would have gone right over my head.
