Publisher Description
Stevenson's quintessential pirate adventure story, brilliantly conceived and executed! Created by actor/narrator Chris Hendrie, the characters immediately spring to life. Young Jim Hawkins tells his own coming-of-age story as he sets sail to find gold with his pirate friends, encountering the magnificent Long John Silver - one legged, quick, cunning, and genial. Through mutiny and deceit, Jim discovers that slippery and charismatic Long John is his ultimate antagonist and that he will have to best him if right is to win the day. Young Jim becomes a hero and the treasure is recovered.
Customer Reviews
Sounds like each phrase has been engineered
This is the most halting, awful rendition I've heard in my years of teaching this novel. Mr. Hendrie has no style or cadence in his narration; it sounds as if the engineer has spliced his sentences together for a very jarring effect. One gets that for which one pays, I fear.
