recording of Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Read by Mark F. Smith.
This is the extraordinary tale of a boy, Jim Hawkins, who comes into possession of Captain Flint's treasure map, after a buccaneer takes a room at his inn and later dies. A local squire outfits a ship to voyage to the Treasure Island, unearth the treasure, and bring it home. Once ashore, pirates being pirates, what follows is a mutiny.
The pirate treasure, amassed by so much blood and death, is about to reach out and claim more victims!

Found this on Unodio and wasn't expecting much. Two hours later I was still going. Robert Louis Stevenson doesn't waste your time with filler — every chapter earns its place.
I've been listening during my evening walks and Treasure Island has been the highlight of my week honestly. There's a section in the middle where it all just comes together — gave me chills.
What I appreciate most is that Robert Louis Stevenson doesn't talk down to you. The ideas are complex but explained in a way that respects your intelligence. Really rare.
Listened to this over a long weekend trip. By the time I got home I'd already recommended it to three people. Treasure Island is just one of those books that sticks.
