For the last month of summer vacation, Talk of the Nation's Book Club of the Air invites listeners of all ages to discuss Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Treasure Island. The adventure, piracy on the high seas, and search for buried treasure have made the novel perennially appealing to children, and vivid character portrayals and the craftsmanship of Stevenson's prose make the book a rewarding read for adults as well. Join Ray Suarez and guests in the virtual living room to discuss Treasure Island, on Talk of the Nation's Book Club of the Air, from NPR News. (Orson Welles' production of Treasure Island was provided by radiospirits.com)
