Sneak Peak “By and by Tom’s reading wrought such a strong effect upon him that he began to act the prince, unconsciously. His speech and manners became curiously ceremonious and courtly, to the vast admiration and amusement of his intimates. But Tom’s influence among these young people began to grow, now, day by day; and in time he came to be looked up to, by them, with a sort of wondering awe, as a superior being.” Why Aevum Editions s tunning reprint is Unique “Aevum” means “Everlasting” and at Aevum Editions Publishing we take every step possible to ensure the preservation and Original integrity of this book has been upheld to its highest standard.
