Treasure IslandRobert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) was bom in Scotland and traveled widely, from Spain to the California goldfields, finally settling in Samoa, where he died. By then he was recognised as one of the greatest story tellers ever, and Treasure Island has become one of the world's favorite adventure stories. The story begins with a mysterious treasure map and an old buccaneer in an English country inn: soon we are on the high seas in a dangerous Caribbean quest that becomes a desperate battle of wits between young Jim Hawkins and the unforgettable wily old pirate Long John Silver. As the tension mounts, who will be first to find the dead man's chest and its fabulous treasure?
