Treasure Island, The Man of the Island

78 min

First footing on the island, drums of fear in the woods, and a marooned man three years alone.

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.
