“The hero is one of the most endearing in literature.”
Daily Telegraph (London)
Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award
An Audie Award Finalist for Best narration
Who could forget the pranks, the adventures, the sheer fun of Tom Sawyer? From Tom’s sly trickery with the whitewashed fence to his and Becky Thatcher’s calamities in Bat Cave, the enjoyment never ends.
Just what did boys do in a small town during the mid-1800s, a time when there were no televisions, no arcades, and no videos? They whitewashed fences, floated down rivers, traded marbles, formed secret societies, smoked pipes, and, on occasion, managed to attend their own funerals. Yes, they may have been a bit mischievous, but as Aunt Polly said of Tom when she believed him to be dead, “He was the best-hearted boy that ever was.” Aunt Polly’s sentiments reveal one of Mark Twain’s cardinal philosophies: In this deceitful and infirm world, innocence can be found only in the heart of a boy.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a humorous and nostalgic book depicting the carefree days of boyhood in a small Midwestern town. The characters are based on Twain’s schoolmates and the town, Hannibal, Missouri, is where Twain grew up.

What an absolute scream!
I picked-up the story because it's a classic (that somehow I had never read), but finished it because it's so dang much fun! The period dialect doesn't detract from the tale either. In fact, the adventure could have even taken place in the time of my own childhood... Tom Sawyer and his friends (including Huck Finn), get into the thick of it as they galavant through the countryside... whether they're sneaking into a cemetery in the dead of night, or exploring a cave with a girl... you can be sure that Tom is leading the pack... Grover Gardner's vocal talents were a great match for the story! All in all, this was an absolutely delightful romp!

Grover Gardner is THE voice for Twain.
Being a fan of Grover Gardner's work, I believe he is at his finest when narrating Mark Twain. Gardner captures both the easy-going nature of Tom as well as the drama of the story in a most engaging fashion. Yes, the story is wonderful, told by multitudes of storytellers, but I prefer Gardner's spinning of this classic tale. I believe Samuel Clemens would approve.
