Audible Originals takes to the high seas to bring to life this timeless tale of pirates, lost treasure maps and mutiny. When weathered old sailor Billy Bones arrives at the inn of young Jim Hawkins' parents, it is the start of an adventure beyond anything he could have imagined. When Bones dies mysteriously, Jim stumbles across a map of a mysterious island in his sea chest, where X marks the spot of a stash of buried pirate gold.

A truly talented cast and an immersive experience takes Stevenson’s coming of age tale of buccaneers and buried gold to new heights. Audible’s faithful recreation as a dramatized production replaces much of the novel’s background description with practical effects that pull the listener in to the story. Hearing the surf caress the shore with buoy bells tolling in the distance as Jim Hawkins gazes out to the horizon from his seaside home allows us to exquisitely feel Jim’s yearning to experience life on the open sea. The entire drama is full of so many palpable scenes that draw you in it almost seems like the story is happening to you! This was an AMAZING listen, not to be missed.

Having been a long-time fan of the Ender series, it was really neat to listen to these stories as they filled in some of the details of the Enderverse. This book is highly recommended for anyone familiar with the series. The narration is top-notch, but the music that overlaps the beginning and end of each story almost drove me insane! The music was SO loud that it was almost impossible to hear what the narrator was saying. Please don't let this one flaw prevent you from listening to this otherwise fantastic audiobook. Great stuff!
