BILLY BONES Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Mr. Hand, I concurr with you assessment. You can't beat the book. Of course, I should know. Billy Bones Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune.
Blackfoot Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 With your recommendation Patrick and the endorsement of BILLY BONES, I am sold. I will go to Borders today and order / buy. Thanks Gentlemen. ]
JoshuaRed Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 It's one of my all-time favorite books. A good fun adventure to introduce kids to the Classics, but ballsy enough for grown ups to enjoy too.
HarborMaster Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 It's one of my all-time favorite books. Yes..., And if you like Robert Louis Stevenson., dont forget to check out some of his other work as well..., Kidnapped was pretty good too.., excellant material for all. I am not Lost .,I am Exploring. "If you give a man a fire, he will be warm for a night, if you set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life!"
LongTom Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Treasure Island is a good one for a read out loud, too.
