Publisher's 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.

What a pleasure

Patrick Fraley has Mark Twain's wit and style down to a tee! He brought the characters to life. I felt like I was at the theater, listening to a narrator between scenes. I enjoyed this one so much I am getting his version of Huckleberry Finn.

Creative Enriching. and Entertaining.

Loved it! Often I'd burst out loud into laughter, tracking with Tom and Huck recalling my own youthful dreams and adventures, or just being gripped by the suspense of doom, realism, boyhood and girlhood, justice, childhood romancing or rescue. I thought the narration and music were excellent and perfectly cast. A+ Enjoy the memories of your childhood mischief, innocence, romances, stupidity. pranks and adventures. PJP

A joy to listen and be in the world of Tom and Huckleberry

Fantastic narration-captures the essence of each character and carries you through Twain’s brilliant turns of phrase and anchors you in the story so that you experience each moment in real time! Highly Recommend this production.

Nearly as good as when my mom read it to me as a child.

This narrative is unbelievable. Second to one. Absolutely loved it. My mom read this and all of the sequels to my sisters and I as kids. She was a teacher and a treasure of a storybook teller. This brought me back to my six year old bedroom.

Well done

Kudos to Patrick Fraley, whose pitch is perfect with respect to Twain. There's no artifice in his performance: you forget that he's reading and feel as though the characters have come alive in your head. Fraley handles Twain's sublime way with words with aplumb. Would that all audiobook readers had his talent.
