Description

A collection of Mark Twain's reflections and stories called "Mark Twain in Eruption" included a section entitled "Hannibal Days" (Hannibal, Missouri) with a short story of his first day at school at the age of 4 1/2.. entitled "A Corn Pone Prayer" ... School is starting soon in USA... as a retired teacher with 35 years in the classroom...I thought the reading of this story written in 1906 was entertaining and interesting to compare school then and now. It is filled with Twain's humor as well. My intro and reading runs 7min 20 secs. Stored in "History" Playlist
