I just love Ken Burns. Period. No qualifications. And this series was one his very best.

I always enjoyed Mark Twain, but haven't really read him as an adult. I too remember the dilemma Huck Finn faced of turning in Jim or NOT turning him in - and I was very young when I read it. It made a real impression on me.

But this series, and part two was every bit as good as part one - was excellent. It humanized the man, recaptured his magic, and retold the tale. The music, of course, was a treat for folkies like us!
