Summary

This is no childrens' book! This books main character is a "lad" but the written story is an extremely vivid adult narrative, and is narrated as such by the narrator. Film versions of this book have watered this down, but the original book as narrated here, pulled no punches. This swashbuckling tale of pirates, fabulous buried treasure, and the adventures of the lad Jim Hawkins on land and the high seas, is one of the great stories in English literature. Set during the age of buccaneers and rogues, the story is as much an account of people at their best (and worst), as it is a story of a hunt for hidden gold! You will be swept along, drawn into the action, and find yourself right in the midst of this rip-roaring adventure! Loyalty, treachery, life and death, wealth, poverty, greed, kindness and cruelty are all on display as this masterpiece of storytelling unfurls.
