Mark Twain's novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was published in London by Chatto and Windus in June 1876. This British edition lacked illustrations, distinguishing it from the later American version. The event scope includes the first British magazine review on 24 June 1876, but no supplied passage supports that review, so it is recorded only as a coverage gap.
