List Written by Mark Twain - Audio book performed by Dick Hill - Unabridged Fiction - 6 CASSETTES - 9 hours Publisher, Brilliance Audio (June 2004) Generations of readers have enjoyed the ingenuous triumphs and feckless mishaps of boyhood days on the Mississippi. This classic of American wit and storytelling introduced Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly, the Widow Douglas, and many other characters to the world; including, of course, the boy who "was cordially hated and dreaded by all the mothers of the town, because he was idle and lawless and vulgar and bad - and because all their children admired him so," Huckleberry Finn. About the Author: Mark Twain is the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910). He is the author of the beloved classics The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Life on the Mississippi, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and The Prince and the Pauper. About the Performer: Dick Hill has recorded everything from sci-fi fantasy to non-fiction, Michael Connelly's gritty cop tales to Faulkner's brilliant prose, and all stops in between. His taping of Kozol's Pulitzer prize winning Amazing Grace was deemed the industry's best non-fiction audio book of 1995, and remains one of Hill's favorites, along with Twain's Huckleberry Finn. In 1997 Hill received 3 nominations for Best Audiobook, a reflection of his character-driven style, which he credits to a lifetime of observing and enjoying people. He has been named one of America's Golden Voices by AudioFile magazine. With actress (and wife) Susie Breck, Dick won the 2004 Audie Award for Best MultiVoice Production, for Sharyn McCrumb's Ghost Riders. Hill has two grown children, and lives, loves, gardens, and cooks with his talented wife Susie Breck in the Midwest. |
