Tom Sawyer very good; poor pronunciation in Prince & Pauper
Generally very good narration, however it seems that neither Lee Howard nor the producers can have conducted the necessary research on British proper noun and classical speech pronunciation. Prithee, Wapping, Hertford & Southwark examples of words mispronounced - nothing an audience accustomed to American English would necessarily pick up on, but one that us Brits certainly can not help but shudder at.
I suggest this title be revisited, or that additional research be done prior to the recording of subsequent titles.
Other than that - very good quality!

Reason for two stars
The books are well written and well read. But the format in which you can download them is all over the place you cannot download each book either on a PC or iPhone. You have to download all books and manually scroll through the chapters ruined the experience for me

Mispronunciations are hysterical!
Love the stories - the books are (of course) classics for a reason! It’s a shame that the pronunciation of some British words/places are incorrect and it will jar with some UK listeners but it made me giggle rather than get annoyed!

Terrible narration
Twain deserves better. This guy is no better than those libribox volunteers, and worse than most. He mispronounces many words, and reads the rest as if he has no idea what they mean. Eg “an old priest that had been TURNED, out of doors” what, is the priest a piece of wood? Or a vampire?? This type of idiocy peppers the narration and distracts hugely from the story.

Excellent books but the narration is too nasal
I was really looking to listening to these books but the narrator completely spoiled it for me. I'm sure the narrator, Lee Jagow is reading with a clothes peg on his nose. I listened to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer but couldn't go any further once I realised it was the same narrator for the whole collection.
