Jim is one of two major characters in the classic 1884 novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. The book chronicles his and Huckleberry Finn's raft journey down the Mississippi River in the antebellum Southern United States. Jim is a black man who is fleeing slavery; Huck, a 13-year-old white boy, joins him in spite of his own conventional understanding and the law.
