  YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
  PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
  Book 2 of 6 – The treasure in the sandbox 
  In 1690 Bristol, young pirate captain Edward Teach and his crew—Israel, Benjamin, Charles, and Anne—dig for Captain Thorne’s fabled treasure in the lighthouse sandbox. Despite Anne’s dramatic false alarms, they unearth a tiny chest containing brass buttons, a broken compass, ancient shortbread, and a cryptic note reading “Remember.” Old lighthouse keeper Pye reveals the chest was his grandson’s toy—but hints some items may be genuine artifacts. Though disappointed at first, Edward realizes the true treasure is the thrill of the hunt and proof of Thorne’s legend. The crew bonds over their discoveries, with Charles quietly noting the value of stories over gold. As twilight falls, they dream of future adventures, their spirits undampened by the modest haul. The tale blends humor and heart, showing how childhood imagination transforms ordinary finds into extraordinary treasures.  
  This is the second of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this second instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, accordion, fiddle, harmonica and bango in a classical sea shanty jig. The closing music ends the tale on a similar jig and at about 2 minutes with the same musical instruments but more upbeat looking forward to the next episode.  
  The story itself runs to about 13 minutes is is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

  The Crystal Man

  The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell - Before H.G. Wells imagined the Invisible Man, Edward Page Mitchell made him vanish. Discover the original tale of unseen horror and scientific wonder—The Crystal Man. 
  Edward Page Mitchell (1852–1927) was a pioneering yet often overlooked figure in early science fiction. A journalist, editor, and short story writer, Mitchell worked for The New York Sun, where many of his speculative tales first appeared anonymously in the late 19th century. His work, rediscovered decades later, revealed astonishing foresight—anticipating concepts like invisibility, faster-than-light travel, time machines, artificial intelligence, and even teleportation, all before these ideas were popularized by H.G. Wells or Jules Verne. 
  Mitchell never collected his stories in his lifetime and published them without fanfare, contributing to his obscurity. But modern scholars now recognize him as one of the founding voices of American science fiction. His stories, including The Crystal Man, The Tachypomp, and The Man Without a Body, blend scientific imagination with a journalistic touch, often exploring the ethical and emotional consequences of advanced technology. 
  Though largely forgotten in his era, Edward Page Mitchell’s legacy lives on as a visionary who helped shape the genre before it even had a name.
