Alan Sklar reads Jug of Silver by Truman Capote

Seasoned voice-actor Alan Sklar reads Truman Capote's charming story of small-town life and mystery.

Jug of Silver by Truman Capote:

The slightly mysterious Mr. Hamurabi puts out a jug of silver coins in his drug store, saying whoever guesses the amount of money correctly will win the entire jug, money and all. The local townsfolk come flocking to his store, because with every visit, they get another guess.  Then the very mysterious Appleseed, a young boy who says he was born with a caul on his head, comes and sits at the counter, looking at the jug, saying he is "counting" the coins.  No one knows how or if he is really counting.  What will his guess be?

Truman Capote was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright whose early writing extended the Southern Gothic tradition. He is best known for his nonfiction novel In Cold Blood and his novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
