Hal,

The edition is for what grade level?

We used the University of California Press paperback edition with our
teacher workshops. It has a lot of explanatory notes, maps, a glossary,
references and text that was deleted from the final edition. It retails in
our museum store for $18.95.

That would have my vote. There are, of course, other editions with many
different commentaries.

Trust your school year is ready to start. Are you teaching a Mark Twain
course this fall? If so, would a class visit be helpful? I have a
presentation on Huck and censorship through the years or could work
something out to meet your class.

Sorry we did not have time to chat much at Elmira. The presentations were
wonderful.

Henry

Subject: which edition of AHF?

just out of curiosity -- which edition of Huck Finn do teachers on here
prefer to use in the classroom?
I used to use the old Bedford critical edition edited by G. Graff but I see
it is now evidently out of print.  It may be that the Penguin classics
edition (Seelye) is also either out of print or about to be replaced.
