Sneaky pirates, sailing ships, buried treasure, exotic lands, and murderous mutiny — what could be better to win over even the most reluctant reader? Robert Louis Stevenson serves up thrills, chills, and plenty of action in this timeless and beloved adventure novel. This must-have collector’s edition features N. C. Wyeth full-colour illustrations, a cloth case, foil stamping, deluxe endpapers, bookplate, and a ribbon marker.
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. He studied at Edinburgh University and then went on to write novels for adults, short stories, and poems including the beloved A Child’s Garden of Verses. Like the adventure-loving seafarers in Treasure Island, Stevenson travelled the world. He died in Samoa in 1894.
