Gift Set Family Clasics

A true classic, a search for America's soul, is given the reading of a lifetime by one of America's finest actors -- two-time Academy Award Winner Jack Lemmon. Floating on a raft down the Mississippi with Jim, a runaway slave, Lemmon's Huck finds adventure, danger and a cast of characters who are both menacing and hilarious.

About the author

The Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman and photographer.

His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all considered to be within the genre of literary nonsense.

Oxford scholar, Church of England Deacon, University Lecturer in Mathematics and Logic, academic author of learned theses, gifted pioneer of portrait photography, colourful writer of imaginative genius and yet a shy and pedantic man, Lewis Carroll stands pre-eminent in the pantheon of inventive literary geniuses.

He also has works published under his real name.
