About this audiobook
Pudd'nhead Wilson is the tale of a beautiful and intelligent slave woman who contrives to save her own light-skinned child from being "sold down the river."
She switches her baby with the master's child, that leads in time to heartbreak and tragedy. This recording is a recreation of Mark Twain's own reading, just as his family might have heard the story for the first time in the family library.
(P)2003 Richard Henzel
Author
Mark Twain
Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed book—and, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.
