Gary, I found after six months, I could just start again and enjoy them, 
because now I knew the story and could savor the details. Then my wife 
noticed an audio from Recorded Books at the library and brought it home. The 
narrator, Patrick Tull, is superb - a different voice for each character and 
each voice perfect for the characters as I imagined them from the page.

overall geographical descriptions of Mauritius (and at times La Réunion?) 
Island(s) fairly match the truth, at least as regards the main features of 
Mauritius (e.g. with the "Morne Brabant being located on the south west part 
of the island" as I can remember, or details about the battle of Isle de la 
Passe with the Montagne du Lion).One of the colored pictures in the book I 
could read features a Vessel close to the rocky shore, with her Captain (?) 
in the fore front standing on black lava rock which seems exactly a picture 
taken from the south "wild coast" some place close to half-way between 
Mahébourg and Souillac.Best
