Please avoid spoilers!
TREASURE ISLAND BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
"They got the money, you say? Well, then, Hawkins, what in fortune where they after? More money, I suppose?"
"No, sir; not money, I think," replied I. "In fact, sir, I believe I have the thing in my breast-pocket; and, to tell you the truth, I should like to get it put in safety."

Lezlie & Nymeth: This is my first time reading it. I've seen the 1950 Disney film with Bobby Driscoll and Robert Newton many times so I'm having a hard time seperating the two.
ReplyDeleteNaida: I'm enjoying it!
I love it, love it! I've watched the movie but have not read the book.
ReplyDeleteJust reading the excerpt I had multiple voices in my head. (it happens when you get as old as I am)..
ReplyDeleteI was in love with Robert Newton's television version of Treasure Island and at the same time I had seen the movie starring Wallace Berry untold times. Both men were excellent in the movie versions.. I never read the book though, I hope you are enjoying it. (Hearing voices in your head is ok, honest! lol)
