Great story & Reader
A LibriVox Listener
Wow....a story very well read. Wish I had read/heard it 50 years ago.....maybe I'd be searching on the island for gold or skippering my own boat.....
good voice

Fantastic melodic voice with excellent tone and inflection. Unfortunately, inconsistent mispronunciations make it hard to follow the stories at times.
