Publisher's Synopsis
If adventure is what you are looking for then Treasure Island by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson is a book not to be missed. It was first published as a complete book in 1883 and over the years has adorned shelves worldwide as an adventure classic.
Originally published as a series in a children's magazine, Treasure Island is often considered a 'coming of age story' where the characters and plot take the reader on an action packed journey. Although initially aimed at children, this book is one that can be and often is enjoyed by all age groups.
The beautiful story is an essential read and will open a world of inside jokes and heritage that might otherwise be overlooked. The stereotypical 'pirate' that we recognise today is based on the descriptions within this novel and have influenced how pirates have been portrayed ever since. It is a wonderful book that is a recommended read for everyone.
