Title: THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER Author: Mark Twain Read By: Patrick Fraley Year: 1995 Length: Unabridged Category: American Humor Actual Length Tapes: 7 hrs., 42 min., on 5 tapes 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. In his unabridged reading of the American classic, actor Patrick Fraley crafts 36 authentic "voices" to represent the wide range of Twain's delightful characters.
