Our Mr. Wrenn

The very first recording of Sinclair Lewis’ very first novel, published in 1914 – a comedy.

Mr. Wrenn is part Walter Mitty and part Forrest Gump – decades before either came to be. A most well-meaning but completely unsophisticated 36-year-old clerk in a novelty and souvenir company, he dreams of great travels, adventure, and romance. He lives in a boarding house in New York City and travels by cattle boat to Europe when an unexpected windfall puts one thousand dollars in his hands. His good-hearted misunderstandings of the world around him amuse and entertain. He does realize his dreams.

Laugh with Mr. Wrenn at the craziness and peculiarities of early 20th-century America.
