    Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Welcome to Raven’s Readings. I do readings twice a week, from various classics. If you subscribe to my free Substack newsletter at ravensview.substack.com you’ll get notified of the next episode, and can leave your comments or suggestions. And perhaps also browse my Flash Fiction writings or musings on the world.

    Remember that you can manage here which sections of my SubStack you’ll receive emails for—Fiction, Odds and Ends, Podcastings, Sort of a Journal, or all.

    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 managed to paddle out to the Hispaniola, cut the anchor rope, and get aboard. Is he alone, or are there still buccaneers aboard?

    Last episode, Jim set off in Ben Gunn’s little coracle to cut the Hispaniola’s anchor rope. Not sure why, but it is another bold move.

    Last episode, the squire and others met with Silver to trade demands. It looks like a battle is inevitable.
