(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Robert Louis Stevenson
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest — Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
Young Jim Hawkins finds a map in a dead sailor's chest — a map showing the location of the legendary pirate Captain Flint's buried treasure. What follows is one of the great adventure stories in world literature: a sea voyage to a dangerous island, a crew of duplicitous pirates, and at the centre of it all, the unforgettable Long John Silver — charming, ruthless, and one of fiction's most magnetic villains.
Published in 1883 and conceived by Robert Louis Stevenson as a story for a young boy's amusement, Treasure Island has delighted readers of every age for over a century. Its influence on the entire genre of pirate fiction is total: the treasure map, the parrot, the one-legged pirate, the secret code — all of these originated here. A novel that never loses its energy or its capacity to surprise.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Stevenson's original, unabridged text — the ideal adventure book for readers of all ages.
