Summary

The idealized childhood of this fictional hero, based on Mark Twain's own early life along the banks of the Mississippi, is filled with robust good humor and high-spirited adventures. Yet there is also an in-depth experience of the central South of the 1840s—its dialects, superstitions, and social values. While romping through fun-filled fantasy, Tom Sawyer shows how morally complicated real life can be. In his unabridged reading of the American classic, actor Patrick Fraley crafts 36 authentic "voices" to represent the wide range of Twain's delightful characters.

Superb reading.

Patrick Fraley is a master story teller and really does bring the characters distinctly to life. Kids will be entrances. There's a reading by him of Huck Finn as well which is just as good and highly recommended.

Good - two chapters in it are the wrong way around

Two of the chapters around about the trial of Injun Joe are the wrong way round which leads to some confusion. I think it it’s around chapters 23/24

Spectacular

Mark Twain has a masterful way of describing human nature and Patrick Fraley performs it all brilliantly. There is seemingly a mix up of 2 chapters back to front somewhere in the middle that was thoroughly confusing until I understood what had happened.
