Another unusual choice of literary classics to adapt into book and record form was this, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn.
Not that the story isn't a classic of course, but it lacks the kind of slam-bang action others in the series, like Robin Hood and 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, provided. But its obvious that Power Records was trying to get a wider audience with their "Literary Classics" line, and Finn is in the public domain, so...
I don't recognize the art, although the cover figure looks Carmine Infantino-ish to me, and on the insides some of it looks like the work of master illustrator Dan Speigle, especially in some of the faces. But I can't be sure.
Like yesterday's Little Women book and record set, I have not been able to find an audio track for this book anywhere, so for now just the book will have to do. If I ever come across it somewhere (or get it made myself), I'll come back and put it up here!

Does anyone have this? I'd love to hear it.
Rob-
Art still smells like Continuity Associates to me...? Did Carmine moonlight for them?
Great Father's Day, to those who are same!

I believe the artwork is by Jack Sparling.
