Join the search for Treasure Island and the last resting place of Captain Flint’s treasure in this atmospheric coming-of-age tale. This version of the famous story of Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver is decorated with elaborate illustrations by famed artist N.C. Wyeth. Stevenson’s 19th-century tale greatly influenced popular perceptions of pirates—treasure maps marked with an X, peg-legs and parrots perched on shoulders can all trace their genesis to this classic novel. Many real-life pirates, including William Kidd, Blackbeard and Edward England, are mentioned in this novel.
