Treasure Island, The Old Sea Dog

70 min

An old captain and his sea-chest at the Admiral Benbow inn, sea-weather, fireside tales, and a quiet watch for a one-legged man.

Retold for sleep from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1883 and long out of copyright. The story is Stevenson's; every sentence here is our own.

Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
