About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of THE CURIOUS REPUBLIC OF GONDOUR AND OTHER WHIMSICAL SKETCHES, by MARK TWAIN. Read by JOHN GREENMAN. As the title reveals, these stories are a collection of some of Mark Twain's more fanciful and eccentric works. They run the gamut from political commentary to our species' need to "be remembered" somehow. Taken as a whole the stories are "whimsical". Taken individually, they speak the truth in different ways. (Introduction by John Greenman)
