About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Extract from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven, by Mark Twain. Read by Gregg Margarite (1957-2012). In the afterlife grizzled sea captain Eli Stormfield finds himself piloting a ship to heaven. Despite a detour and some navigation errors he arrives but finds the transition to heavenly bliss a little disconcerting. – Although first drafted in the late 1870’s this story did not see print until the December 1907 and January 1908 issues of “Harper’s Magazine”. The next year it was made available as a Christmas gift book and represents the last volume Mark Twain published in his lifetime. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)
