Treasure Island

Set in the 18th century, Stevenson's classic story of hidden treasure and evil pirates is for children and adults alike. The narrator is young Jim Hawkins, the son of an innkeeper, who becomes involved in a quest for hidden treasure which takes him to Treasure Island.

Climb aboard for the swashbuckling adventure of a lifetime. Treasure Islandhas enthralled (and caused slight seasickness) for decades. The names Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins are destined to remain pieces of folklore for as long as children want to read Robert Louis Stevenson's most famous book. With it's dastardly plot and motley crew of rogues and villains, it seems unlikely that children will ever say no to this timeless classic. --Naomi Gesinger
