Setting - "the poor little shabby village of St. Petersburg," the fictional equivalent of Hannibal, the Mississippi River town where Twain spent his early years.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is set in the town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, some time around the middle of the nineteenth century. St. Petersburg is small, but it's got everything a boy could want: lush forests, a wide river, an island perfect for playing pirates, and caves perfect for getting lost in. It's got your standard issue small-town stuff: a church, a courthouse, a schoolhouse, etc., but it's got a spooky side too, complete with an eerie graveyard, a "Temperance tavern" selling bootleg liquor, and a haunted house.
