In the world of reading for young people, no book I know will provide more excitement than Treasure Island. When Robert Louis Stevenson spun this yarn, he created a world so complete, so full of life, with characters so memorable, that, while it has had many imitators, it has never been equaled. I don't think it ever will.
Treasure Island is a tale set in the 18th century. It's about pirates, looted gold, and treasure hunting. It's about sailing, murder and treachery. It's about the death-defying adventures bythe boy Jim Hawkins. It's about a lovable, one-legged rascal named Long John Silver...
Treasure Island: Since its publication in 1883, generations have enjoyed this captivating tale of young Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver, the pirate rogue. This adventure or all adventures embodies the search for romance and excitement for which every heart yearns.
