A Mississippi Immortal In Europe Guy Gertsch

When the Grouch, who lives in a cottage behind his daughter's house, wakes up one morning, he believes he's Tom Sawyer. There is a renewed excitement in his life as he discovers Europe through Mark Twain's eyes, following in the same path that Twain took while writing The Innocents Abroad. Each step is one of self discovery and adventure believing those he runs into are straight out of the fun filled characters like Becky, Huck, Aunt Polly and more. On his travels, he begins to question his 'immortality' as a story book character. Can 'Tom' remain immortal? Or will 'Tom' find something during his adventures that will allow him to return to his normal life, now happy and content?
