This book was never reviewed by AudioFile Magazine – but here’s what Books-on-Tape had to say:
Since its publication in 1883, TREASURE ISLAND has remained one of the great tales of mutiny. Its primary malefactor, Long John Silver, has become synonymous with evil. The story is told through the eyes of Jim Hawkins, a young man who first encounters tales of buried treasure while working at his father’s tavern. The action moves from the Admiral Benbow Inn to the high seas and on to secret islands. Never did virtue so reward a young man as Hawkins has been rewarded, made immortal by the gifts of an immortal storyteller. 
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
About Simon
If you don't know already: I'm an actor who found his way into audiobook narrating as a side-gig and seems to have made a success of it. I did train as an actor as a child (just a couple of hours a week, but it stuck) and later I spent about 15 years working inside the BBC ending up, for a decade, as one of the presenters/newsreaders on BBC Radio 4 in London. I found my way to California a few (!) years ago and have never left.Sign up for the Mailing List
