The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County

May takes us to Northern California mining country in the mid 1800s with The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.  This was the breakthrough short story that brought Mark Twain into literary prominence.   Randy Lewis has written an excellent article in the LA Times about the story's history. The Pagosa Springs Radio Theater Company adaptation attempts to stay true to the original language of Twain's piece.  For the best experience, consume with head phones.   A Special Thank You to the Lake Hatcher Frog Chorus for providing authentic Pagosa frog sounds.  Ribbit!
