Jim Hawkins, the narrator of 'Treasure Island', is a young man, yet most of the audiobooks available are performed by stately, mature men! This audiobook of the classic novel brings its characters - impulsive narrator Jim, two-faced John Silver, and each filthy pirate - to life in an energetic presentation full of charm and fun. Set sail with the Hispaniola with your course set for adventure!
Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' was the first to sail many seas: Long John Silver was the first one-legged buccaneer stumping about on a wooden leg, Captain Flint was the first pirate's parrot, and the map of Skeleton Island was the first to be marked with an X for 'Dig Here' - but its swashbuckling adventure remains as fresh and exciting today as it did when it was first published; that's one of the rewards of being first.
When Annette gets Lucien into trouble at school, he decides to get back at her by threatening the most precious thing in the world to her: her little brother, Dani. But tragedy strikes.

She is so filled with rage that she sets out to alienate and humiliate Lucien at every turn. But then some surprising things began to happen to both of them.
Patricia St.John's stories are classics of their time and have been enjoyed by generations of children. This edition of Treasures of the Snow combines her superb skill as a storyteller with language sensitively adapted to a new generation of children.
"Pamela Garelick makes Annette, her little brother, Dani, and her nemesis, Lucien, seem like real people...[her] delivery transports the listener to the mountains of Switzerland."-AudioFile
