Download Penrod (Revised Edition) AudioBook Free
Penrod, Booth Tarkington's classic and hilarious story of one 11-year-old boy's unceasing group of misadventures within an early on 20th-century Midwestern town, has fallen into disrepute in a few quarters for ethnic descriptions and dialogue that many today find unpleasant. Lasso Catalogs has used the vivid step of abridging the initial text and getting rid of doubtful passages and rewriting select servings so that children and people may now read this delightful novel minus the insensitivities of days gone by that many found objectionable. With great care, this new, modified release of Penrod, has been edited seamlessly so that Booth Tarkington's purposely florid prose, which adds to the hilarity of Penrod's comic mishaps, is placed lovingly intact. Penrod is specifically well-suited to teenagers of middle school and senior high school years who not only can relate to Penrod's mischief, but can appreciate the expansive vocabulary Booth Tarkington utilizes to comedic impact. Lasso Catalogs also suggests this book to people who enjoy Draw Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer and the wry laughter found in Twain's writings.
