A timeless tale told by a gifted actor.

"Treasure Island" has been universally acclaimed since its publication in 1883, leaving little unsaid about this literary masterpiece. My focus here, however, is on the remarkable performance by Hans Conried. Known for his unforgettable roles as Uncle Tonoose, Captain Hook, and the Grinch, Conried delivers an exceptional performance in this rendition. His narration is infused with drama and emotion, and his character voices are superb, particularly his portrayal of Long John Silver. While he may not surpass Robert Newton, Conried's interpretation is now my second favorite.

The recording's exact date remains unclear, but it does suffer from some inherent audio issues due to its age. These issues are intermittent and occasionally make listening challenging. A remastered version of this performance would be a true gem, preserving Conried's brilliant work for future audiences. Despite the sound quality concerns, I urge you not to miss this outstanding rendition of "Treasure Island." It is unlikely that any other performance could match its excellence.

Great Reading

Hans Conried might very well be the best narrator of this story ever. I loved it.

Treasure Island read by Disney's Captain Hook!

Can you imagine my surprise when I found this little gem? Who'd have thought it was possible to listen to this classic pirate tale, as read by Disney's original Captain Hook? The only better narrator there could've possibly been would be Robert Newton, the one and ONLY Long John Silver. That being said, the only nitpick I could point out is that at times he seemed to read too fast. Even so, an excellent performance.
