One of the greatest treats in all world literature, this masterpiece from Mark Twain is revolutionary. It offers both brilliant humor and tragedy as Huck and Jim explore moral dilemmas of slavery
and freedom. Huck, the narrator, is shrewd, ingenious, and literal—he reports on everything he sees, which allows the listener to experience the hypocrisy of “sivilization.” This superb reading by
Patrick Fraley is rich in the color and adventurous spirit of the Mississippi River. It captures the world and people that Mark Twain knew and loved.

Editorial Reviews
“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. It’s the best book we’ve had.” —Ernest Hemingway
“Patrick
Fraley’s sensational reading of this American classic…should be recognized as an audio classic in its own right.
Fraley recreates Huck, Jim, and the rest of the gang flawlessly, using an
elastic voice, perfect diction, and bubbling enthusiasm. He has mastered
the many dialects of this nineteenth-century text, making it easy to
follow the story and appreciate Twain’s humor. Fraley also does some
serious verbal gymnastics by changing character voices a half-dozen
times within a two-minute span…[An] exceptional experience.” —AudioFile
“A seminal work of American literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy…[This book] is essential to the understanding of the American soul.” —Amazon.com, editorial review
Mark Twain (1835–1910) was born Samuel L. Clemens in the town of Florida, Missouri. He is one of the most popular and influential authors our nation has ever produced, and his
keen wit and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics and peers. He has been called not only the greatest humorist of his age but also the father of American literature.
