America's favorite story teller reads Mark Twain's greatest story -- the broadly comic, ironic tale of a small-town boy and a runaway slave, together on a raft on the mighty Mississippi. It's one adventure after another, told with affection and unabashed joy.

About the author

Show More
Gary Edward "Garrison" Keillor is an American author, singer, humorist, voice actor, and radio personality. He created the Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) show A Prairie Home Companion (called Garrison Keillor's Radio Show in some international syndication), which he hosted from 1974 to 2016. Keillor created the fictional Minnesota town Lake Wobegon, the setting of many of his books, including Lake Wobegon Days and Leaving Home: A Collection of Lake Wobegon Stories. Other creations include Guy Noir, a detective voiced by Keillor who appeared in A Prairie Home Companion comic skits. Keillor is also the creator of the five-minute daily radio/podcast program The Writer's Almanac, which pairs poems of his choice with a script about important literary, historical, and scientific events that coincided with that date in history.
In November 2017, Minnesota Public Radio cut all business ties with Keillor after an allegation of inappropriate behavior with a freelance writer for A Prairie Home Companion. On April 13, 2018, MPR and Keillor announced a settlement that allows archives of A Prairie Home Companion and The Writer's Almanac to be publicly available again, and soon thereafter, Keillor began publishing new episodes of The Writer's Almanac on his website. He also continues to tour a stage version of A Prairie Home Companion, although these shows are not broadcast by MPR or American Public Media.

Not to be confused with its relatively lightweight sometimes-accomplice, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Twain still has a good deal of fun with this one, but while also touching on some heavy ethical issues, mostly around the theme of racism.

A great yarn, read by one of the best narrators I've listened to on Audible (Patrick Fraley) Huck Finn is a great narrator of this eventful road trip - a consistent liar who's honest about his observations, funny, engaging, struggling with some moral issues.
I never got used to hearing the "n" word, but Twain probably provided an illuminating look at slavery for his time - delivered in a very human & funny story.

Read this book a couple times when I was younger and think I enjoyed it more now as an adult. Still makes me want to build a raft and float down the Mississippi!

This book is very hard to get into the grammar they are using but when you get used to it the book is good from there on.
