Resumen del Editor

This delightful collection of gems by Mark Twain begins with the story of a town called Hadleyburg, which prides itself on the honesty of its citizens. One day a citizen of Hadleyburg offends a stranger passing through, who vows to take his revenge by revealing just how corruptible the sanctimonious town really is. Twain is at his best here, poking fun at common hypocrisy as the self-satisfied pillars of the community are done in by their own greed.

Other stories in the collection include:

1. The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg

2. The Double Barrelled Detective Story

3. The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County

4. The Million Dollar Bank Note

5. Benton and Mills

6. A Tale

7. Cannibalism in the Cars

8. The Stolen White Elephant

9. The Man Who Put Up at Gadsby's

10. The Good Little Boy

11. The Bad Little Boy

12. Baker's Blue Jay Yarn

Mark Twain (1835–1910) was born Samuel L. Clemens in the town of Florida, Missouri. One of the most popular and influential authors our nation has ever produced, 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 the father of American literature.

Must read if you like Twain

Never read the printed version

What other book might you compare The Humorous Short Stories of Mark Twain to and why?

Roughing it be Mark Twain. Twain has an incredible sense of humor that really comes out in these two books.

Twain got your number!

Mark Twain tells the best stories of human foibles. He is the fly on the wall and never misses his mark. ( no pun please)

Poor editing

While I enjoyed the stories, I was disappointed in the editing (some passages repeated themselves) which detracted from the experience more than I would have thought. I had read a review before I bought the audio book that mentioned the repeating but bought it anyway. I wish I hadn't.

Neither the best stories nor best performances

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Mark Twain's genius is lost a bit in the hackneyed performances that try too hard to "perform" the characters rather than present the story. Also, the selection of his stories seems to lack some of his most colorful.

Some of the stories were entertaining others not

Would you try another book from Mark Twain and/or Bobbie Frohman?

Some of the stories were entertaining and others were not. I didn't enjoy listening to the narrators voice as much as other books which made the stories harder to follow. They pause between chapters and play music which is a distraction.

One of the greatest writers

This is why he is one of the greatest writers ever. Great prose while telling memorable imaginary stories.

Great performance

What made the experience of listening to The Humorous Short Stories of Mark Twain the most enjoyable?

The reader(s) are truly wonderful - clear and lively, as if listening to the actual characters.

What about Bobbie Frohman’s performance did you like?

Great dialects, pacing, inflection and drama.

Any additional comments?

Mark Twain's writings speak for themselves but this performance truly brings these wonderful stories to life.

Congratulations on making Twain utterly boring!

The performers on this audiobook have succeeded where few others could. They actually made Mark Twain tiresome. The bad acting, repetitious use of music, and overall bad performance absolutely ruined these works by one of my all-time favorite authors. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Found this to be worth a Listen.

54 year old Male listing to this to and from work. 55 mile daily drive one way. These stories help take the Blaa out of this long drive. Good value for cost. Don't use a credit just pay cash for and enjoy.
