Treasure Island (BBC Children’s Classics)

No one can fail to be captivated by the swashbuckling piracy of Treasure Island. Having outwitted a band of pirates to obtain a map disclosing the whereabouts of Captain Flint's treasure, Young Jim sets sail for Treasure Island. But the crew of the Hispaniola is not what they seem. Revealing themselves as another gang of cutthroats, led by the villainous Long John Silver, they are hell-bent on seizing both the ship and the treasure. Will they succeed? The struggle of Young Jim and his friends as they do battle on the high seas is thrillingly played out in this BBC Radio full-cast dramatization which stars Jack Shepherd, Iain Cuthbertson, Buster Merryfield, and James MacPherson as young Jim Hawkins.
