Adventures in Far-Off Places

The Short Story Collection

By: Jack London, Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling

Narrated by: Frank Muller, Alexander Spencer, Flo Gibson

At the turn of the century, the short story form gained enormous popularity. As readers looked for diversion and entertainment, they found the attraction of a good tale irresistible - especially when the action was packed into a few pages instead of a hundred. Here are three timeless stories that will whisk you into exotic lands and unforgettable adventures.

Against the frozen Alaskan landscape of "To Build a Fire", a miner struggles to survive the splintering whiteness of sub-zero temperatures.

"Isle of Voices" captures the Hawaii of old, where magic transports a young man to an island of powerful spirits.

"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" pits a mongoose against a cobra in the steamy beauty of an Indian garden.

Recorded Books’ award-winning narrators turn these three adventure stories into absorbing audio productions. Listen as their dramatic performances bring out the full richness of far-off lands and breathtaking challenges.

Would you listen to Adventures in Far-Off Places again? Why?

I love R.L.Stevenson but this story is not good, sorry. The other too are famous and amusing. All are well read.

Great First Story…BUT...

Any additional comments?

I thought this book was full of SHORT STORIES but it only contained 3! One medium, one VERY VERY long and one super short. Would have been better with 6 truly short stories.
