Mark Twain’s Library of Humor Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

Master wit Tag Twain selected these twenty-seven stories himself by fifteen of his favourite nineteenth century authors. The order follows whatever Twain positioned them in in the initial anthology, released in 1888. He indulged his comic elegant rather than making a textbook in which all styles or authors are put together, saying that “In this manner, you will need to peruse the whole lot before discovering that one of your favorites is not included.” However, it really is no joke that these are the writers represented: Charles Dudley Warner, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Eugene Field, William D. Howells, James M. Bailey, Joel Chandler Harris, Katherine Kent Child Walker, Robert J. Burdette, Sam Davis, Artemus Ward, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Francis Lee Pratt, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Frederick W. Cozzens, and Twain himself.
