Title: Mark Twain: The Short Stories

Author: Mark Twain

Narrator: Stuart Milligan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-16-12

Publisher: The Copyright Group

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in 1835 and is far better known by his pen name: Mark Twain. An American author and humorist of the first order, he is perhaps most famous for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which would later provide the backdrop for these great novels. During his lifetime, he was apprenticed to a printer, worked as a typesetter, and eventually became a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River. Later, he headed west with his brother, Orion, to make his fortune, where he failed at gold mining, and instead turned to journalism and found his place in the world as a writer of humorous stories.

The short stories told here showcase Twains true-calling. His wit and humour sparkle from every word; his mastery of the craft is evident with every phase and punctured target. Enjoyable and entertaining from start to finish, these stories are read for you by Stuart Milligan.

This couldn't come at a better time.

"This couldn't come at a better time. The current trend in audiobooks is the revitalization of the classic radio program, and all the publishers are doing it. From Doc Savage, to The Black Mask, to NPR's Car Talk, it seems that America is rediscovering the joys of the spoken word. And Joe Bev is adding some very worthwhile products to the market. And the acting and sound effects are of the highest quality. Give this a try, you won't be disappointed."

Do you poop out at parties? Do you wish I would stop asking so many questions? Well wish no more o traveler of the airwaves. These full cast audio productions. Don't worry if you aren't familiar with these names, their voice characterizations are as good as any you'll hear. And the acting and sound effects are of the highest quality. Give this a try, you won't be disappointed."

Title: The Gift of the Magi

Author: O. Henry

Narrator: Deaver Brown

Format: Unabridged

Length: 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-01-11

Publisher: Simply Media

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Classics, American Literature

Publisher's Summary:

"The Gift of the Magi" may be the second most widely read O. Henry story in grammar, middle, and high school. "The Ransom of Red Chief" rates number one. Young readers and listeners have a slightly more difficult time relating to two young married people - old after all to them - than to 10-year-old Red Chief; his father, who makes the kidnappers pay him back in order to take Red Chief off their hands; and all the antics and excitement of it all.

"The Gift of the Magi" is not read or heard widely after one leaves high school, which is a shame, because it is such a magical story about expectations being crushed by realities, and the turn of events, which O. Henry was so masterful at achieving. The interesting twist is that these two people both sacrifice for each other, but that means neither of their gifts works out as planned. However (and O. Henry is full of howevers), the two are deeply in love and shrug it off and move on in their happiness. A final thought for the listener: Is there anyone similar to O. Henry in style? We cant think of one, and that is another reason to listen to these stories.

As with all Simply short stories, you should enjoy the ideas put forth in the introduction and afterword: things to think about, or write about if you are a student. O. Henry's other two best-loved stories are also available: "The Cop and the Anthem" and "A Retrieved Reformation".

Not a good story book for children

Iâve always loved different renditions of this story, but had never read the original. I bought for my kids for Christmas. This was a difficult book to read out loud for kids. The language and writing are definitely not of this age. I donât reccomend if youâre buying for children, but a nice book for a collection or something.

A story of love and want.

I love O'Henrys writing. If only I could tell a story so succinctly! The emotion of each character is laid out very simply yet clearly. That's what this story is about, emotion.

Heartwarming

We all know the story. 2 people in love without a penny doing a selfless act for each other at Christmas time. It's a must along with the Christmas Carol by Dickens.

A good reminder what is really important

A good quick story. Sometimes we forget about what is really important in this life. This is a good reminder of that.

Beautiful short read

You can read this in about 15 minutes. It's a beautiful story of sacrificial love. it's a free ebook! It's an excellent read.
