Treasure Island | Stevenson |Collector's Edition | Hardcover

Treasure Island, a story about pirates and buried treasure, is so brilliantly concocted that it appeals to readers both young and old. The story is told in the first person by young Jim Hawkins, whose mother keeps the Admiral Benbow Inn. A resident at the inn hires Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors whom he fears but the old man is served with the black spot which means death. Among the dead man's belongings Jim discovers a map showing the location of the buried treasure of the notorious pirate Captain Flint. It is not long before he sets sail to find the treasure. However, amongst the hired hands is the one-legged Long John Silver who has designs on the treasure for himself.
