Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

By Mark Twain, dramatized by Marcy Kahan. One of the great American novels comes into rich and multilayered life in the most complete dramatization yet. This BBC/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation co-production evokes pre-Civil War America and follows Huck and the runaway slave Jim on their journey down the Mississippi on a raft. Twain's wise and affectionate writing gives voice to Huck's growing understanding of Jim's humanity and remains controversial. This program contains language that some listeners may find offensive.
Other parts played by Glenn Bang, Mark Caven and Roy Lewis
