"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 Chapters From My Autobiography ... 11hr 34min LINK:< https://www.yousendit.com/download/bXBhb2VCZ1BoeWJtcXRVag> These transcriptions of his off-the-cuff telling of his own history allow one to feel as if he is listening to the great storyteller one-on-one.
