Classic Serial: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Mark Twain , dramatised by Marcy Kahan. One of the great American novels comes into rich and multilayered life in the most complete dramatisation 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'sgrowing understanding of Jim's humanity, and remains controversial. This programme contains language that some listeners may find offensive.
