Mark Twain's "The Jumping Frog", also know as The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of America's most beloved humorous short stories-a tale brimming with wit, mischief, and the charm of small-town life. When a visiting stranger hears the outlandish story of a gambler and his extraordinary frog, "Dan'l Webster," he's drawn into a web of good-natured trickery and tall-tale tradition. Twain's keen ear for dialect and his playful satire of human gullibility make this story a timeless piece of frontier folklore.Narrated with warmth and personality by Mike Polischuk, this classic captures the lively spirit of 19th-century America and the storytelling genius that made Mark Twain a national treasure.
