He is soon joined by Jim, an escaped slave. Together, they experience a series of rollicking adventures that have amused readers, young and old, for over a century. The fugitives become close friends and enjoyed their independence.But their peaceful existence comes to an abrupt end with the appearance of an incorrigible pair of con artists who take over the raft . After many difficulties, Huck and Jim escape their tormentors , and with the help of an imaginative rescue by Huck's old friend Tom Sawyer, Jim gains his freedom.
