Treasure Island, The Sea Cook
Bristol quays, a ship called the Hispaniola, and a one-legged cook with a parrot and the smoothest tongue in port.
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.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
