TREASURE ISLAND.

Peg legs and parrots, buried treasure, the Jolly Roger and fifteen men on a dead man's chest.

with Treasure Island Robert Louis Stevenson indelibly marked forever the perception of pirates for future generations.

The tale that became Treasure Island began with a treasure map drawn for his 12-year-old stepson and the pirate story Stevenson spun to go along with the map.

Published in serial form in 1881 and 1882 and in book form in 1883, Treasure Island brought him widespread popularity, launched his career as a profitable writer, and by the end of the 1880s, was one of the era's most widely read books.

One of the world's truly beloved books, it has been widely read in many languages since its original appearance, and the story is one of the best-known around the world thanks to endless reprintings and translations, as well as films, comics, television and numerous other adaptations.

Beginning with the appearance of an old seaman, Billy Bones, at the Admiral Benbow Inn run by his family, young Jim Hawkins is drawn into a great adventure: the search for the treasure of the legendary pirate Captain Flint, buried on a remote island.
