Painstakingly based upon the classic 1852 novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe re-tells the story to allow young readers a glimpse into the darker side of American history.

Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best selling novel of the 1800s and had an enormous influence in gallvanizing public opinion against slavery. Uncle Tom's Cabin is the story of two slaves whose master must sell them to settle his debts. Uncle Tom is sold "down the river", away from his wife and children, and Eliza decides to escape. Uncle Tom has a great faith in God and is a righteous man, but is sorely tested when he is sold to a sadist named Simon Legree.

Does Eliza make it to Canada? Will Uncle Tom survive Simon Legree's villany? Uncle Tom's Cabin will keep you riveted to the end.

Good Read

This was one of the few books my entire family enjoyed listening to. If I knew this classic was so good, I would have read it a long time ago!
