About This Item

Rare paperback in fine condition for its age: very little shelfwear, a bit of foxing(?) on spine, but internally Fine and obviously unread.
From the back cover:
"Fifteen men on a dead man's chest! . . . "
An old pirate sings a song that foretells his doom! What are his secrets and who is Black Dog, the ugly, one-legged man he fears? Young Jim Hawkins discovers all his secrets, including an old treasure map that leads him to magnificent riches . . . and dangerous adventure with some of the most famous cut-throat buccaneers of all time!
Synopsis
Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story was originally serialised in the children's magazine Young Folks under the title The Sea Cook over a period of several months from 1881-82. Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure Island is the classic pirate tale, known for its superb atmosphere, character and action. It is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an "X", schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.
