Summary

 Robert Louis Stevenson, know mostly for his tales of adventure and horror, also had a humorous side. This black comedy of errors deals with a coffin that keeps disappearing, and then showing up again in very strange places.Public Domain (P)1987 Jimcin Recordings Classics Witty Comedy

The audio actually sounded like AI and I had to double check the release date to be sure it was actually a human. Wouldn’t bother purchasing.

This was one of my mother's favourite books, and she often told me how funny it was, and I have to agree with her - it is genuinely funny, even after all these years.
However, I found it a distraction having an American accent reading the story, in particular because of the mispronunciation of some place names.
But generally - great fun, and very good value!

Enjoyed the story, but pity about US narrator
