Huckleberry Finn and His Friends was a 1979 television series documenting the exploits of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, based on the novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by American writer Mark Twain. The series was made up of 26 episodes and was a Canadian/German coproduction. Huckleberry Finn is played by Ian Tracey who is also the narrator. Tom Sawyer is played by Sammy Snyders. Directed by Jack B. Hively and Ken Jubenvill, this mini-series was broadcast in many countries such as Germany, UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Venezuela and many other Latin American nations. The series was re-shown many times during the 1980s to early 1990s and has grown somewhat of a cult following. Even though Mark Twain originally wrote the books The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as separate units, this mini-series conjures up both literary works as only one story. Therefore, it places greater importance on Huckleberry's character without putting aside Tom Sawyer's. In 2007, the complete series was released as a 4 DVD box set by Fabulous Films in the UK. It contains many extras including a 12 page color booklet and a 30 minute 'making of' documentary featuring interviews with many stars of the series including Sammy Snyders, Ian Tracey, and Blu Mankuma.

The Thing About Feuding

Huck is entangled further into the feud between the Grangerfords and the Shepherdsons and realise that he himself is now as much a target as any of the family. He discusses the feud with Buck who informs him that it goes way back in time, though even he can't recall why it ever started and why it still exists. On accompanying the family to Sunday services Huck is astonished to witness the men carrying rifles to the church. The Shepherdsons also attend the same service with their own rifles. On returning from the service the beautiful Sophia Grangeford asks Huck for a favour. She informs him that she has forgotten her Bible at the services and wishes for him to fetch it for her. When Huck does so a note saying 'half-past two' slips out of the Bible. Huck replaces it and returns it to a clearly delighted Sophia. Huck's slave Jack meanwhile is keen for Huck to see a breed of rare snakes down by the river.
