About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Young Marooners on the Florida Coast by Francis Robert Goulding. Read in English by Teresa Bauman; Natalie Paula; Rachel When Robert, Harold, Mary and Frank are cast ashore on a deserted island, they must learn to live off the land in order to survive. With dangerous wildcats, friendly bear cubs, sunken pirate treasure and more, life on the island is never dull - but will they ever see their family again? Although it is now over a century and a half old, this tale of children fending for themselves possesses all the elements of enduring popularity. It has the strength and vigor of simplicity; its narrative flows continuously forward; its incidents are strange and thrilling, and underneath all is a moral purpose sanely put. - Summary by MaxineMarie & SweetPea
