All the events mentioned in this book are more or less collective experiences of him and him. his friends with some added things for effect like getting stuck like when Tom and Becky got stuck in the cave which was the villain's hideout. This is what made the story an interesting romantic piece because of the way he told it. The purpose of the story is simply to remember the passion of being a child and having fun. It wasn't a serious piece, meant primarily to entertain boys and girls without turning into adults, but it is a universal tale that could be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age, due to its entertaining nature.

He was an interesting man to say the least, but his legacy will live on in his books and legends
