Critic reviews
"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)
