Subject: Classic sea adventure and a very good reading
Jim Hawkins is a young boy who lives at his parents’ inn, the Admiral Benbow, near Bristol, England, in the eighteenth century. An old sea captain named Billy Bones dies in the inn after being presented with a black spot, or official pirate verdict of guilt or judgment. Jim is stirred to action by the spot and its mysterious, accurate portent of Billy’s death. Hastily, Jim and his mother unlock Billy’s sea chest, finding a logbook and map inside.
And so begins a classic sea adventure. The reading by Adrian Praetzellis is very good indeed. Many thanks.

Excellent reading of this classic story.
The mixture of English West Country and East Ender accents is very effective. Singing is not bad either; you'll like the effect at the end of the last chapter. (The BookWorm, Manchester, UK)
