Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Treasure Island is the seminal pirates and buried treasure novel, which is so brilliantly concocted that it appeals to readers both young and old. The story is told in the first person by young Jim Hawkins, whose mother keeps the Admiral Benbow Inn. An old seadog, a resident at the inn, hires Jim to keep a watch out for other sailors whom he fears but, despite all precautions, the old man is served with the black spot which means death. Among the dead man's belongings Jim discovers a map showing the location of the buried treasure of the notorious pirate Captain Flint. It is not long before he, along with Doctor Livesey and Squire Trelawney, sets sail to find the treasure. However, amongst the hired hands is the one-legged Long John Silver who has designs on the treasure for himself. The continuing fascination with this tale of high drama, buried treasure and treachery bears out what Stevenson wrote about the book to his friend W. E. Henley: 'if this don't fetch the kids, why, they have gone rotten since my day.' The book not only continues to 'fetch the kids' but the grown-ups too in fact all those with the spirit of adventure in their hearts.

One of my favorite classics
I've always enjoyed reading Treasure Island and wanted my 11year old grandson to have the experience. This book is well-bound with good quality paper and print. The illustrations are also well done. I hope the book gets read over and over as it looks like it will hold up well to being handled often.

Treasure Island
Kitabın üzerinde biraz lekeler var ama genel durumu fena değil. Orijinal Wordsworth Collection serisi gibi duruyor.

Très beau livre !
Le livre est conforme aux photos postées bien que le haut de la tranche était un peu décolorée, comme usée. Hormis cela, le livre est très beau et a été livré dans les temps.

Beautiful book
My favourite story. I'm no generally a 'collector' type but this is my favourite book! Beautiful illustrations too to really 'bring the tale to life' like I remember it in my childhood! It would make a great present for any child maybe of primary school age. My niece isn't quite there yet but I'll get her a copy down the road! There was one small print error towards the end in my copy (a line or two of text was repeated). But this is of no importance at all really. I only mentioned it for 'completeness'. Shiver me timbers mateys, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! :-)
