About Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson is one of the most renowned authors of the 19th century. His work is noted for its fusion of both Romanticism and realism. His prose often had an immediacy to it, with a focus on character development as well as narrative structure in order to evoke both pathos and emotion from his readers. Additionally, he was able to create vivid settings that employed a variety of geographical locations and landscapes, thus lending a greater believability to his stories and novels.

About Jim Hodges

Jim Hodges began reading aloud in the second grade with a stirring rendition of Dick and Jane. He continued to volunteer to speak throughout his schooling years, performed as a newscaster while in the Navy, and participated in community theater groups. His wife, Monica, once asked what his dream job would be. He answered, “I’d record books.” And so began Jim Hodges Audio Books, producing unabridged recordings of the G. A. Henty historical novels, children’s books, Overtly Christian titles, and classic literature.

Treasure Island is a treasure for the young… If it is read in one’s childhood, it is irresistible and with age its magic doesn’t wear out for me but now it shines differently… Now, if I can’t get away nohow, and they tip me the black spot, mind you, it’s my old sea-chest they’re after; you get on a h......more

3 items worthy of note in Robert Louis Stevenson's classic treasure "Treasure Island": 1) There are a ton of tropes! We understand that this is pretty much what Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ripped off, making tons of money off of this adventurous classic, including but not limited to: rampant al......more
