How Not to Get Rich: The Financial Misadventures of Mark Twain
by Alan Pell Crawford
Read by Peter Berkrot, with the recording produced by Tantor Media.
Alan Pell Crawford makes Mark Twain’s financial woes seem nearly as entertaining as the humorous writer’s fiction. A chronic squanderer, Twain was a pillar of lousy planning and miserable investments. Quotes from the man himself ground this narrative, and Peter Berkrot gives it a rollicking read.
