Treasure Island
Fiction e-Book-of-the-Month, May 2000. PIECES OF EIGHT, crossed swords, pirate ships - this is swashbuckling escapism at its most unapologetic. Robert Louis Stevenson’s vivid tale of adventure on the high seas is impossible to put down. From the entrance of Billy Bone to the discovery of Captain Flint’s map, to the entrance of Long John Silver and his cadre of mutineers, the story of young Jim Hawkins and the hunt for hidden treasure is pure suspense. Stevenson penned some of the most enduring classics of his time, including The Black Arrow, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but this tale is arguably the one with the most faithful following, both young and old. And no wonder – with its twisted plot, action and danger, Treasure Island is a cannonball of a story.
