Twain for the night

Three classic stories by Mark Twain, read in the soft, familiar tones of AM radio.

In The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, a storyteller spins a tale of trickery and gullibility in a quiet Western town.

In A Dog’s Tale, a loyal pet reflects on innocence, sacrifice, and the quiet tragedy of being good in a careless world.

And in Extract from Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven, a seasoned sailor arrives in the afterlife and discovers a heaven full of surprises, satire, and gentle wonder.
