Synopsis

The sun shines on Tom Sawyer. The idealized childhood of this fictional hero, based on Mark Twain’s own early life along the banks of the Mississippi, is filled with robust good humor and high-spirited adventures. Yet there is also an in-depth experience of the central South of the 1840s—its dialects, superstitions, and social values. While romping through fun-filled fantasy, Tom Sawyer shows how morally complicated real life can be. This reading of Tom Sawyer is especially notable for the virtuoso performance of actor Patrick Fraley. Crafting thirty-six authentic “voices” to represent the wide range of Twain’s delightful characters, Fraley proves his storytelling mastery. Hear why this is one of the world’s best-known and best-loved books, appealing to all ages.

When his Aunt asks him about what happened, he says oh that’s just how cats are. My second favorite scene is when Tom blurts out t......more

"He was not the Model Boy of the village. He knew the model boy very well though--and loathed him." "No, his mind is not for rent To any god or government. Always hopeful, yet discontent He knows changes aren’t permanent – But change is" Well, what is there to say about this one? It's one of those nove......more

My coworker and my boyfriend made fun of me when I was reading this because apparently it's written for children and they both read it when younger. I have nothing to say in my defense, I didn't know I don't know most things if that isn't obvious by now. On a related note I probably would have enjoy......more
