    What the critics say

    "Thomas Becker's delivery suggests the wry humor one imagines the author himself would use in reading them." (Booklist)
    "This recording's success is a result of Becker's dramatic reading ability, which is nicely understated yet totally effective and appropriate." (School Library Journal)
    "Possibly the best Twain on the market." (The Society for Performance Literature)
