'Fifteen men on a dead man's chest - yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!' A treasure map where X marks the spot, a schooner set to sail, a one-legged seaman with a parrot on his shoulder, a boy whose bravery will be tested by murder, mutiny, and betrayal - Robert Louis Stevenson's well-loved tale is the ultimate swashbuckling adventure. From the sleepy English coast, over the raging high seas, to a tropical island concealing a buried treasure, this story of friendship and greed, loyalty and courage stars an unforgettable cast of characters: young Jim Hawkins, the terrifying Blind Pew, the wild man Ben Gunn, and one of literature's most dastardly villains, the charming, crafty, and utterly unscrupulous Long John Silver. Superbly illustrated by the celebrated woodcut artist John Lawrence, this is the definitive edition of an enduring classic.

"Darrrgh, Jim lad!" What's not to love? The original pirate adventure story! Cap'n Flint, Blind Pew, Jim Hawkins, Squire Trelawny, Captain Smollet, The Hispaniola and that ur-villain, Long John Silver!
Enjoyed this classic. Sometimes a little hard to understand, but worth the read.
This book is mis-categorized into the Oceania heading. Treasure Island took place in the Caribbean, not the South Pacific.
