Jim Hawkins, the narrator of "Treasure Island", is a young man, yet most of the audiobooks available are performed by stately, mature men! This audiobook of the classic novel brings its characters - impulsive narrator Jim, two-faced John Silver, and each filthy pirate - to life in an energetic presentation full of charm and fun.
