Treasure Island
Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this classic, beloved adventure. Treasure Island has proved unimaginably influential on our collective culture, defining our perception of pirates—adorned with parrots on their shoulder and treasure maps in their hand. As you follow the lives of Billy Bones, Jim Hawkins, and Long John Silver, you will soon understand why Robert Louis Stevenson is a storyteller that has endured throughout time, and why this story in particular is one of the most frequently referenced and dramatized novels of all time.
Despite being plagued with illness for much of his life, Robert Louis Stevenson traversed the planet and became a prolific travel writer. His most enduring legacy, however, is as the novelist to Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verses. He is the 26th most translated author in the world.
