Treasure Island is a classic story. This is an abridged version of it, and lasts for 1 hour 5 minutes. I play it at night for my 6-year-old daughter as she goes to sleep. Here is her summary of her beginning of the story:
- The person says "15 men on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum".
- Someone comes in and wants some rum. Jim goes to get it and he sits down at the table and motions Jim to come near. Then he says, "is your table for my mate Bill?" Jim said he did not know his mate Bill, but he was the captain.
- The captain strode in, opening the door without looking to the left or right.
- The captain turned around with the look of a man who's seen a ghost.
- Then the captain says "Black Dog."
- Jim left them together and went to get some rum.
Her favourite bit of the whole story is the blind beggar part.
After a few listens she liked this, but not as much as her previous favourites from the series, Bill Nighy Reads The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Dominic Cooper Reads Oliver Twist.
(I got this AUDIO book through Amazon Vine. It is listed HERE.)
