About this listen

 Welcome aboard The Twain Train - the only conveyance I know of that runs on steam, mischief, and an alarming shortage of good sense.

I’m Mark Twain (or a remarkably convincing echo of him), and I’ve brought along two specialists in trouble: Tom Sawyer, who can turn a fence into a fortune, and Huckleberry Finn, who can turn a quiet afternoon into a full-blown escape. Together we’ll drift the Mississippi, dodge respectability, and uncover the kind of truths that prefer to arrive wearing a joke.

So settle in, keep your hands inside the imagination at all times, and mind the gap between what folks say they are and what they’ll do when nobody’s looking. Next stop: adventure.Public domain
