About this listen

This set includes five tales of extraordinary heroism, marvelous intrigue, and exceptional courage that have inspired and amazed people for generations. Gulliver’s Travels is Jonathan Swift’s comic tale of an Englishman who journeys to four fantastical and exotic lands filled with unforgettable characters, from the pint-size Lilliputians to the giant Brobdingnagians. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood takes us to Sherwood Forest, where the brigand and his band of “merry men” rob from the rich to give to the poor — to the consternation of the Sheriff of Nottingham. The Jungle Book transports readers into a wondrous world where danger lurks behind every drooping vine and the law of the jungle is the key to survival. Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins as he learns the ways of the buccaneer from a group of seafaring miscreants, including the nefarious peg leg, Long John Silver. White Fang by Jack London recreates the forbidding world of the Yukon Gold Rush, where a wild dog must endure violence, hardship, and bitter cold on his journey from savagery to civilization.

It's hard to put a rating on a collection of stories like this. All I can say is the narrators were all first rate, but I was surprised at how little I engaged with the stories - except for Treasure Island - a rollicking good tale that one! But at only 1 credit you can at least now say you've read all the "classic children's adventures", and you may even enjoy one or two.

Having never read any of the included books previously I can't say a bad word about either the stories or the performances.

Very worthwhile listen!

Thoroughly enjoyable!

This is a fabulous collection of five of some of the greatest adventure classics of all time. The collection includes treasure Island, the jungle book, Gullivers travels, White Fang and the merry adventures of Robin Hood. Whilst I am familiar with many of the stories excepting White Fang, the narration by Michael Page and Simon Vance is superb however White Fang read by a previously unknown narrator to me was to my view something of a drag to listen to. This does not in any way detract from the worth of this collection which is without doubt superb value for money and will entertain, astonish and delight children of all ages. Perfect for long car journeys all lazy summer afternoons at home. You should also check out the enchanted collection from brilliance which includes A collection of tales such as black beauty, the secret garden and Alices adventures in Wonderland to name but a few.

Classic adventure collection for just one credit?

as I have just got this collection I can't comment too much on each of the 5 individual books, however have noticed that there is no way of telling where each books starts or stops, which means you have no other option other than listening to each book in the order they come in...one at a time.
