The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works. Told in language of great simplicity and power, it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal, a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Here Hemingway recasts, in strikingly contemporary style, the classic theme of courage in the face of defeat, of personal triumph won from loss.

On the evening of May 6, 1942, hours after US Army General Jonathan Wainwright surrendered all US and Filipino forces on the island of Corregidor and other fortified islands in Manila Bay to the Imperial Japanese Army, 18 US Navy sailors from USS Quail began their daring escape to freedom.

With only a watch, compass, homemade sextant and a few maps, it was an incredible feat of navigation.

The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic "fug". Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity.

Story
Captains Courageous is Rudyard Kipling’s classic fable of a boy’s initiation into the fellowship of men, played out on the high seas of the late 1800s. When he falls overboard from a luxury liner, Harvey Cheyne, the spoiled son of an American millionaire, is rescued by a small New England fishing schooner. To earn his keep, Harvey must prove his worth in the only way the skipper and his hardy crew will accept: through the grueling mastery of a fisherman’s skills.

Story
It was supposed to be a vacation - and a chance to get to know one another better. But when a massive storm sets in without warning, four kids are shipwrecked alone on a rocky, jungle island in the middle of the South Pacific. No adults. No instructions. Nobody to rely on but themselves. Can they make it home alive? A week ago, the biggest challenge Vanessa, Buzz, Carter, and Jane had was learning to live as a new, blended family. Now the four siblings must find a way to work together if they're going to make it off the island. But first they've got to learn to survive one another.

 Good narrator, Great storytelling 
The narrator did a good job, voicing bird, and a true Maine accent. It’s a little bit funny.

Children's Story for Adults
Children's story? Sure, but it's written so well that I've enjoyed it each time my kids listen to it. Brimming with nautical terms and a fun story, I highly recommend this for your library - kids will definitely learn while enjoying. "AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY"

Keeping it real, a fish tale in classic tradition.
IMO what makes this story special is the accent of the author. A Cape Cod native, I grew up hearing and reading this book for years with my siblings....and the localism (although McCloskey's is a Mainer voice) is just perfect on the ears. Bravo! 👏

Oops! I downloaded a children's book by mistake!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A really cute children's audio book but not so exciting for a senior citizen.
What was most disappointing about Robert McCloskey’s story?
I must be sure to listen to a sample before blindly downloading a book.
Have you listened to any of Tim Sample’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Tim Sample's narration was excellent.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Burt Dow?
None.

Burt Dow
Tim Sample has an original Maine accent but sadly he adds “dam” in a few places when none of Burt Dow books I’ve read since the 1980’s have the word in it. It’s not needed. Sample is not known for family material so they must have a hard time finding someone else with an original accent. Author has my vote- sorry to have Sample had his take on words: find another native speaker, and get Him to do a full collection of Mcklosey’s famous stories
