A Horse's Tale (Version 2)
Mark Twain
Read by John Greenman
A Horse's Tale is a novel by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), written partially in the voice of Soldier Boy, who is Buffalo Bill's favorite horse, at a fictional frontier outpost with the U.S. 7th Cavalry. With a fanciful mix of points of view, we hear the story of Cathy and her relationship with Soldier Boy and the soldiers of the 7th Cavalry. A surprisingly graphic depiction of a Spanish bullfight leaves no doubt where Mark Twain's sympathies lie. (Introduction by John Greenman & Wikipedia) (1 hr 54 min)

This was the first reading I've listened to by John Greenman. I am simply in awe of the life that he has breathed into this story by his skillful narrative. The voice inflections, the cadence, the tone changes & accents accorded the various characters...simply marvelous! This Mark Twain classic is humorous, warm, stirring and inspired me both to laughter and tears.
excellent reader and writer

Incredibly sad ending. If you can read this but not shed a tear, your heart is made of stone
