About this audiobook
One of Mark Twain’s classic tales, a small band of boys in a medieval village make friends with a very real angel whose name is Satan. He assures the boys that he’s not The Satan, but his nephew. He looks like a boy of their own age, but his magical powers and unusual perspectives on morals and mankind leave the boys amazed and bewildered.
Mark Twain never finished this story to his own satisfaction, after several attempts. In 1916, his biographer and friend Albert Bigelow Paine, with fellow author Frederick Duneka, added an evil astrologer and devised an ending, and published the version which is here presented. A malicious Considered by Mark Twain scholars to be a fraud due to the additions and changes, it is nevertheless a moving and satisfying story. Narrated by Richard Henzel, who has been portraying Mark Twain on stage and screen for over fifty years.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book has a very negative view of life. It started out with a promising setting and the possibility of connecting with the main characters but really nothing developed and one was left wondering about the purpose of the strong character in the beginning who introduced the boys to the possibility of angels. It is well written but the skill of the writer is wasted on the story.
