For each book, Rockwell created eight full-color paintings and numerous pen-and-ink drawings, the product of extensive on-the-ground research in Twain’s hometown of Hannibal, Missouri. Famously, Rockwell even tried to buy some Hannibal residents’ old clothes, to dress his models in.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor years, the Rockwell editions of \u003ci\u003eTom Sawyer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHuckleberry Finn\u003c\/i\u003e have been unavailable in stores. Now, Abbeville Press is proud to reissue them as a handsome new clothbound set.
