According to legend, when Mark Twain was failing at mining at a California mining camp, he heard someone tell a story about a couple of gamblers and a frog that wouldn’t jump. When Twain published the tale in 1865 in the Saturday Evening Press, it was his career that did the jumping. An American icon was born.

In this audiobook from Jimcin Recordings, 24 Twain short stories - from the world-famous "Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" to the obscure "Mrs. McWilliams and the Lightning" - are presented by a cast of venerable audio performers such as Jack Benson, Walter Covell, and Cindy Hardin Killavey. But remember, as Twain has Mortimer say, "All German advice is more or less mixed."
