Description
audible1 dramatic reading of Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson.
When a rough old seaman calling himself “the Captain” appears at the inn owned by Jim Hawkins’ father, young Jim little dreams what adventures will follow in the man’s wake. Soon, the once-peaceful inn is threatened by pirates, Jim’s father is laid in his grave, and Jim finds himself in possession of a map showing the location of treasure buried by the legendary and notorious Captain Flint. Along with a group of brave men: the sensible Dr. Livesey, the fearless and unflagging Captain Smollett, and the blustering but well-meaning Squire Trelawney, Jim sets out in quest of the treasure. Many perils, from wild animals to murderous villains to stormy seas will beset him on the way. And ever in the background, smiling and enigmatic, lurks the one-legged ship’s cook, Long John Silver. One of the best-loved adventure stories of all time, Treasure Island is a pirate classic that delights readers today as much as when Stevenson first wrote it. (Summary by Eden Rea-Hedrick)
