(4.8 stars; 598 reviews)

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. The map spreads its ill luck to all who know of it.

A local squire outfits a ship to voyage to the Treasure Island, unearth the treasure, and bring it home. Little does he suspect that the man he has hired aboard as cook was formerly Flint's quartermaster, who then connives to hire many of his old mates.

Once ashore, pirates being pirates, what follows is a mutiny. Jim and a handful of honest men find themselves harried and hunted by the rest of the crew.

The pirate treasure, amassed by so much blood and death, is about to reach out and claim more victims! (Summary by Mark Smith) (7 hr 34 min)

Best of the Best!

A Literary classic, a must read in my humble opinion. Read by the best libriVox has to offer. This title is sure to have you squawking: "prices of eight!" And: "fifteen men in a dead man's chest!" Unless of corse you don't get tipped the black spot first. Sit back and enjoy this masterpiece, the father of all modern piratical pop-culture.

Treasure Island


(5 stars)

Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island is a timeless classic, and the audiobook adaptation brings this swashbuckling adventure to life in a vivid and unforgettable way. The narrator’s performance is truly commendable—each character is given a distinct and consistent voice, enhancing the depth of the storytelling and making it easy to follow even complex scenes. The use of character voices is particularly effective, immersing the listener fully into the world of pirates, buried treasure, and high-seas betrayal. Long John Silver’s charm and menace are captured perfectly, while young Jim Hawkins’ youthful determination is brought to life with genuine emotion and energy. The story itself remains as gripping and influential as ever, a cornerstone of adventure literature that still thrills today. The pacing, rich language, and unforgettable characters all combine to make this audiobook a standout experience.

It’s been years since I’d read Treasure Island, but with a home renovation underway I didn’t have time to read it again. The big surprise wasn’t just the story— it was “Mark F. Smith of Simpsonville, South Carolina” who was narrating. I had just finished listening to his reading of The Three Musketeers which was a marathon effort filled with a fascinating multitude of characters, and the enjoyment of that sparked my desire to listen to another classic. This was it. When I heard Smith announce his name, I knew I was going to be enjoying every minute. When you find yourself listening to a story and realize you’ve forgotten where you really are, that’s the sign of pure excellence. Mark F. Smith of Simpsonville, South Carolina led me to a treasure with this classic.

Excellent reading. Long John Silver owes a lot to Robert Newton who played the cunning but oddly endearing one-legged pirate in the 1950s film. Newton's pirate accent set the mould for all pirates since. Pirates of the Caribbean is stuffed to the bilge battens with Newton Silvers. Anyhoo, the reader is very easy on the ear and manages to bring character to every one of Stevenson's cast. Very enjoyable and recommended.
