Editorial reviews

Henry Adams, the protagonist in this well-loved Mark Twain story, tells listeners the English way of settling anything is, of course, a bet. And thus, it is a bet between two very rich and very eccentric brothers that drives the action in "The Million Pound Bank Note". Notable Audible performer, Jack Benson, lends his talents to this classic tale wherein the Montpellier brothers give Adams, a penniless stranger, a large sum of money and try to predict the effects of their random generosity.

Publisher's Summary

Two wealthy gentlemen decide to give a poor stranger a million-pound bank note to see what he will do with it. The results are very unexpected.
