"Since you have certainly already read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, I need not introduce myself to you. That book was written by a certain Mark Twain and what it says is true - at least for the most part. Now and then he added something, but that doesn't matter. I don't know anyone who doesn't occasionally tell a little lie, except, say, Aunt Polly or Widow Douglas or Mary. Tom's Aunt Polly and his sister Mary and the Widow Douglas all appear in the book of Tom Sawyer, which, as I said, is a true story with few exceptions." Gröls Classics - English Editionweiterlesen
