From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huckleberry "Huck" Finn is the title character of the Mark Twain novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

- Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884).
Mark Twain created Huck Finn for his 1876 novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and then had him narrate his eponymous novel. Huck Finn also appears in and narrates Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894) and Tom Sawyer, Detective (1896).
The character Huck Finn is sometimes said to be based on Tom Blankenship, the son of a drunkard who lived in a "ramshackle" house near the Mississippi River behind the house where the author grew up in Hannibal, Missouri[1]. Tom Sawyer, by contrast, is an amalgam of several boys Twain knew[2].
