Huckleberry Finn made his entrance in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as “the juvenile pariah of the village,” draped in garments cast off by grown men and clutching a dead cat. He is a doorway sleeper and master of profanity, an oracle of superstitions, charms, the ways of witches’ incantations, graveyard protocol, the ghosts of murderous men – and he is utterly unconstrained by adult discipline, by schooling or religion.
