  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. Set sail with the Hispaniola with your course set for adventure! 
  Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" was the first to sail many seas: Long John Silver was the first one-legged buccaneer stumping about on a wooden leg, Captain Flint was the first pirate's parrot, and the map of Skeleton Island was the first to be marked with an X for "Dig Here" - but its swashbuckling adventure remains as fresh and exciting today as it did when it was first published; that's one of the rewards of being first.

  Anna and her family have only one hope left to escape certain doom.
  		 
  It’s 1936 and life is becoming dangerous for the Jews of Krakow. As incidents of violence and persecution increase day by day, Anna begs her father to leave Poland, but he insists it’s impossible. How could he give up his position as an acclaimed clarinetist in the Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra? When Anna and her father barely escape from a group of violent thugs, it becomes clear that the family must leave. But how? There seems to be only one possibility. Bronislaw Huberman, a world-renowned violinist, is auditioning Jewish musicians for a new orchestra in Palestine. If accepted, they and their families will receive exit visas. Anna and her grandmother boldly write to Huberman asking him to give Anna’s father an audition, but will that be enough to save them? This poignant story is based on real events in pre-war Poland and Palestine. After saving seven hundred Jews and their families, Huberman went on to establish what later became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
  		 
  Against an ominous background of the impending Holocaust in Europe and the first Arab-Israeli war, The Sound of Freedom still manages to remind the reader of the goodness in the world.

  YOUNG BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE  
  PORT OF BRISTOL 1690 
  Book 6 of 6 – The Great water balloon ambush 
  Here is the summary of the Story: 
  In 1690s Bristol, young Edward Teach (future Blackbeard) leads his crew in their most daring raid yet—ambushing their own parents' picnic with water balloons. After days of restless boredom aboard The Salty Pickle, Edward masterminds the attack: modified spud cannons launch pig-bladder balloons, Charles leads a bucket brigade, and Anne's piercing scream signals the assault. The crew infiltrates the meadow with military precision, soaking the unsuspecting adults in a glorious, chaotic battle. Though initially stunned, the parents join the fun, surrendering their soggy sandwiches with laughter. This final adventure showcases Edward's tactical genius and flair for dramatic command—qualities that would later make him history's most feared pirate. The story blends authentic period details with childhood whimsy, concluding the series by demonstrating how Blackbeard's legendary leadership began with simple backyard adventures and loyal friends who followed him into any mischief.  
  This is the last of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this final instalment, and it's only $3. 
  The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes being 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 35 minutes is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
