Episode description

Those Extraordinary Twins by Mark Twain audiobook.

Genre: comedy

In Those Extraordinary Twins, Mark Twain spins a sharp, mischievous tale set in the small river town of Dawson's Landing, Missouri, where reputation is everything and gossip travels faster than the current.

Their presence soon collides with the town's fragile social order, drawing in judges, lawyers, and citizens eager to turn novelty into profit, pity into power, and curiosity into condemnation.
