"Superb...one of the best readings of a Mark Twain book to which I've ever
listened...and I've listened to almost all of them. An energetic and
remarkably impassioned narration that brings out the powerful emotions and
ironies of one of Mark Twain's complex works and adds new dimensions."

"This American classic highlights mid-19th century life along the
Mississippi as lived by the mischievous and charming Tom, his friend Huck
Finn, and his love, Becky Thatcher. Twain’s novel has engaged audiences for
generations, whether his  hero is hoodwinking schoolmates into serving his
punishment, pursuing murderers, fleeing life with sweet Aunt Polly,
attending his own funeral, or digging up buried gold. This performance is
guaranteed to continue that tradition.”— Audible Editor Reviews


The American Claimant ... 7hr 26min  LINK:<
https://www.yousendit.com/download/bXBhb2VCZ1BRWUkwTWRVag>

A rebellious young British Earl goes to America to find the true heir to
the family fortune and make things right.

“THE AMERICAN CLAIMANT may be one of Mark Twain's lesser novels, but it may
be his best book for an audio edition. Probably because it was originally
drafted as a stage play, it has a much higher proportion of dialogue than
any of Mark Twain's other novels. This makes it ideal for a narrator such
as Richard Henzel, who is himself a professional actor. He gives each
character a distinct and appealing voice and brings the entire book to life
in a way that doesn't happen when one reads the text off printed pages. The
result is an entertaining revelation. I've listened to virtually every Mark
Twain title that has been recorded on audio (some by multiple readers) and
believe this title, with Henzel narrating it, is the most entertaining Mark
Twain audiobook I've yet listened to. Full of fun, it has many of the
classic elements of a dramatic farce and is a nonstop delight.”  —R. Kent
Rasmussen, Library Journal

"...while it's important that Henzel's narrative voice is a pleasant
Twainian timbre without actually trying to be a Twain impersonation, it is
his handling of the dialogue which becomes even more important as the
listener prepares for more than seven hours of listening. Lucky
listener..." --Kevin Mac Donnell, The Mark Twain Forum

"One of Mark Twain's lesser-known stories, The American Claimant will
delight fans of the beloved American humorist. This 1892 tale contrasting
English nobility with the American pursuit of freedom comes to life with a
lively narration from Richard Henzel, a film and TV actor whose voice
became famous as a radio announcer in the movie Groundhog Day. Henzel's
wry, resonant voice enhances Twain's natural humor, giving some of the
book's more amusing features, such as the appendix containing all the
story's descriptions of weather, a quirky appeal. Listeners will be
surprised that this complex and entertaining story hasn't achieved wider
public appeal."---Audible Editor Review


Is Shakespeare Dead? ... 2hr 42min  LINK:<
https://www.yousendit.com/download/bXBhb2VCZ1B6NExFdzhUQw>       Mark Twain
claimed he was not a Shakespearite nor a Baconite, but that he was a
"Brontosaurian": he didn't know who did write them, but he knew Shakespeare
didn't.

“[T]he entire audio book is a tribute to Twain's comic sense and
word-play... If Is Shakespeare Dead? is one of Mark Twain's works that
you've resisted reading until now, this audio book is an enjoyable way to
experience one of Twain's last autobiographical writings.... Twain's words
and Henzel's voice are at perfect pitch." --Kevin MacDonnell,  in The Mark
Twain Forum
