Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson Complete Audiobook

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson needs little introduction. Young Jim Hawkins, at the Admiral Benbow Inn, falls in with Billy Bones, meets Blind Pew, then teams up with Squire Trelawny, Captain Smollett and Dr. Livesey, who charter a ship, the Hispaniola, and hire a crew that includes the affable 'Long' John Silver. What Jim learns in the apple barrel on deck changes everything: an early example of the importance of your five-a-day. Look out for Ben Gunn, the mad maroon, who knows how to salt a goat for future consumption.
It is read by Greg Wagland, who attempts several accents from the South West, not necessarily the South West of England, sadly ;-) Recorded with a very nice antipodean valve microphone and then rather brutally mastered.

Poor old Ben Gunn. He was marooned for several years, found and dug up Flint's treasure, virtually provisioned the first leg of the return journey, and only ended up with £1,000 out of £700,000 for a his troubles. Simple math dictates that, estimating they spent £100,000 on the crew and provisions from the Spanish Caribbean port to Bristol and Gunn's stipends, that left the rest to divide the remaining £600,000. Frankly, they should have given him more and invested in a cheese factory in his name. "Benjamin Gunn & Sons Cheese Works" has kind of a nice ring to it!

But alas! Thou art no savior! Thou art the lesser of all men; even maggots are to you as a king is to a flea! For thou have not read Treasure Island!

Treasure Island was a syllabus book I first encountered at school. It's been served in film and cartoon format over the years and is a great story but I've never heard it brought so vividly to life nor with such flare and artistic skill as in this version by Greg Wagland. The accents of the characters and the consistency with which each character is sustained throughout the story is a marvel to hear and the way he maintains the dialogue brings all the characters to life and makes you feel they are all real and present as if you were actually there yourself. Love it.

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850 - 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, musician and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verses. Stevenson was a literary celebrity during his lifetime, and now ranks as the 26th most translated author in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers, including Jorge Luis Borges, Bertolt Brecht, Marcel Proust, Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, Cesare Pavese, Emilio Salgari, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Jack London, Vladimir Nabokov, J. M. Barrie, and G. K. Chesterton, who said that Stevenson "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins".

I gotta admit, I prefer the audiobook version in my native language, because the narrator is so lively and gives more character to the story and it is the version I grew up with -but listening to this in the original English is very pleasant as well. One of my favorite stories of all time, always exciting and thoughtful. I first read the book whe I was ten and had listened to it countless time since age six. I still listen to this at least 5 times a year. Treasure Island never gets boring. It is a pity it is often labeled a children's book although it would make great university level reading: it is a moral story in an adventure's guise.

The original 1950 flm of Treasure Island was magnificent and magical and is an all time classic that has never been equalled. Robert Newton’s portrayal of Long John Silver scared me to death as a child. He was magnificent and owned that role- no one has ever matched him. Anyone who loves this book should search out the film. Clips of it can be found on KZbin.

Its so interresting the things that make it into adaptations that arent in the book. The Admiral Benbow doesnt get burned down. Mister Arrow and the Captain dont like eachother, despite them usually being a sort if character duo in film adaptations, with a preexisting repore. Jim and Johns relationship is good but its not Father Son strong like it is in a lot of versions. Jim isnt an orphan, nor did his dad leave. Im not saying these adaptations are bad. Ive never seen an adaptation I didnt like, they just found subtext they liked, like class distinctions or Fatherhood, and empasised these with plot points they liked. Its just intriguing.

I have read all of your Sherlock Holmes narrations I have read a lot of your ghost stories and now I'm on Treasure Island. Once again there's no one that can touch you as a narrator you have the most beautiful melodic voice I have ever heard in my life. I do not mean to sound corny or funny when I say that I say that with the greatest respect and admiration I don't even bother to listen to the other narrations the only one I would listen to would be Edward hardwicke on Sherlock. But no one can touch you you will never know the pleasure you have given me and listening to your stories and your narrations. You probably think I'm some old fanatic, but you really ARE a wonderful narrator. With a different things that you can do with your voice to portray the different characters the numerous different characters, to me is incredible.I can't keep track how many times I've told you this but I still have to keep telling you from time to time. I hope you don't ever stop, because you sir, are fantastic.

Takes me back to my childhood hearing this again.... Would like to hear it from Robert Newton 😊

[@acediaethos4469]

thank you so so much for this!!! it took a few chapters to appeal to me but the story gripped me until the end :)

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

It's a rollicking good tale. Glad you enjoyed.

Thank you, Agastya.

My favorite part of this book is probably Israel Hands part. The Blind Man however always creeped me out the way it is described in the book.

[@miguelguillermez4330]

One of my favorite classic novels along with "Robinson Crusoe", "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Gulliver's Travels", "Lord Jim" which all tell adventures of the sea. Thank you for uploading.

Of course.

I have to write a essay on this

[@stevenverhaegen8729]

Read the book years ago and never really took to it. Until now, this is fantastic. Almost feels like watching a pirate movie! 😀👍🤩

[@pesnevim1626]

Fantastic reading of a great book. Thank you.

[@debbiejohnson4034]

Great Reader, really enjoyed this!

[@glorisyoung9696]

Thank you! So nice to hear it read with an English accent! Good job, Matey!

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Cheers, Cap'n.

[@biancacraciun5628]

This is very helpful for me because i need to read this book but now i can listen to it instead of reading it

[@michaelmayoh656]

Oh please read it as well !

[@thomasstevens1436]

Thank you Mr. Wagland. I hope a recording of pirate songs is forthcoming.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

I'm not sure the music world is ready! Do you?

[@thomasstevens1436]

@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Ready or not, it will be groundbreaking. I think particularly a duet between Ben Gunn and Captain Flint (the parrot) would be a smashing success, followed by more hits sung by Billy Bones.

Just found this narrated by the wonderful Greg Wagland!! He could make a train time table sound entertaining!!✊♥️

[@EscenasDVA]
