MUTINY, PIRATES AND BURIED TREASURE…AN ADVENTURE FOR ALL AGES!
Treasure Island, an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson is a tale of buccaneers and buried gold. Originally considered a coming-of-age story, it is the most dramatized of all novels and is noted for its unique atmosphere, characters, and action, which include the sea, pirates, an uninhabited island, danger, romance, exciting adventures and wonderful heroes.
The novel’s influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an ‘X’, schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots perched on their shoulders.
Jim Hawkins seeks the treasure of an evil pirate, Captain Flint. He sets sail with Captain Smollett and his crew who are later revealed to have been pirates who served under Captain Flint, the most notable being the ship’s one-legged cook Long John Silver. This tale of mutiny, pirates and buried treasure is an adventure for all ages.
