Treasure Island Robert Louis Stevenson

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The most popular pirate story ever written in English, featuring one of literature's most beloved bad guys. Its unforgettable characters include: young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn; and of course, Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook, and the next a dangerous pirate leader.
