Robert Louis Stevenson' s Treasure Island
was not the first adventure story of pirates in the Caribbean, but it may as well have been. Since its publication in 1883, it has become the standard— the first and last word on the subject— and it remains an exhilarating, satisfying read for young and old alike to this day.This edition includes all 16 of N.C. Wyeth' s full-color paintings for the 1911 edition of the book, as well as 44 drawings by Louis Rhead for his 1915 edition. Included as an addendum at the end of the book is the essay, “ My First Book: Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson on the writing of his classic. Also included are a helpful glossary of nautical and historical terms, an introduction, author bio, and bibliography.
The story begins when a strange, crusty old pirate comes to stay with Jim Hawkins' family at the Admiral Benbow Inn. The map he carries with him will put them all in danger and be the impetus for young Jim' s perilous journey with the wily Long John Silver in search of treasure on the high seas.
