Treasure Island
Robert Louis Stevenson · 1883 · Adventure
Young Jim Hawkins finds a dead buccaneer's map and sails aboard the schooner Hispaniola for an island of buried gold - never guessing that half the crew, led by the charming one-legged sea-cook Long John Silver, are Flint's old pirates bent on mutiny. From the black spot at the Admiral Benbow to a duel in the rigging and a treasure-hunt among dead men's bones, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is the adventure that gave the world the treasure map, the parrot on the shoulder, and the most charming villain in fiction. Complete and richly illustrated.
