I will be reading to you from Treasure Island, written by the Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. It was published in 1883, but is set in the previous century. It’s told from the point of view of young Jim Hawkins.

Last episode, Jim and his companions learned of a plot against them, and have a plan to perhaps deal with it. And Treasure Island has finally been sighted. What’s next?

Last episode, we learned that the voyage of the Hispaniola went well, and Treasure Island was near. Jim had climbed into the almost empty apple barrel on deck to grab a snack, and overheard a disturbing conversation between Long John Silver and several of the crew. What did he hear?

I will be reading to you from Treasure Island, written by the Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. It was published in 1883, but is set in the previous century. It’s a ‘coming of age’ story of the young Jim Hawkins, and is mostly told from his point of view. There are 34 chapters, shortish, so I’ll read two per episode. So grab a glass of grog, settle down in a snug corner of the cabin, and let’s set off on our adventure.

I will be reading to you from Very Good Jeeves. It’s a collection of short stories written by P. G. Wodehouse in 1930. Jeeves, a very competent valet, and his hapless employer Bertie Wooster, were characters in dozens of short stories by Wodehouse. The stories are from the point of view of Bertie.

Last episode we left Tuppy eager to show his bravery in a sure to be violent rugby match to impress a girl. Bertie had a scheme to use a tearful telegram from Tuppy’s actual girlfriend to call him away.

This is the last story in this collection, so if you have any suggestions for the next olden days book, let me know. Maybe Treasure Island, or The Wizard of Oz, or another Agatha Christie, or Nancy Drew? Choices.
