What to expect

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.

Critics Review

  • “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.”
