Mark Twain's engaging novel about Tom Sawyer, a young, mischievous boy with a nose for trouble and a heart of gold. One of the most enduring American novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a jaunty, free-wheeling story that exemplifies the life of a young boy on the frontier in the mid 1800s.

Between his work on the 2014 Audible Audiobook of the Year, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel, and his performance of Classic Love Poems, narrator Richard Armitage ( The Hobbit, Hannibal) has quickly become a listener favorite. Now, in this defining performance of Charles Dickens' classic David Copperfield, Armitage lends his unique voice and interpretation, truly inhabiting each character and bringing real energy to the life of one of Dickens' most famous characters.

Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day." A thrilling and important piece of American literature!

Named a "national institution" by George Orwell, Dickens offers his most popular tale, of the orphan who is reared in a workhouse and runs away to London. A novel of social protest, a morality tale, and a detective story.

Publisher's Summary

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, originally published in 1876, was the first novel written on a typewriter. Mark Twain's lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls (especially Beck Thatcher) with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River.

Charming classic

While the narration is a bit over the top (and grating at times: Aunt Polly), it really sets the tone for the tale.

This book is well written and great fun for all ages. Well worth a listen!

Classic Adventures of a Loveable Rogue

I remember an adaptation of this being shown on the telly about 30 years ago and was keen to revisit this classic Twain novel. It follows the adventures of Tom Sawyer and his friends. The early chapters build the characters as young Tom gets up to a series of misdeeds and pranks before the main adventure unfolds. This builds up to a great ending. This definitely left me wanting to hear the sequel 'The adventures of Huckleberry Finn'.

The narrator does a great job delivering the tale with enthusiasm. He does fantastic work fleshing out the characters (with the hilarious exception of a Welsh man who sounds as convincing as Dick Van Dyke attempting cockney in Mary Poppins).
