The adventure story told in Treasure Island has become a part of popular folklore. John Sutherland discusses the novel s place in Stevenson s biography and oeuvre in his learned and lively critical introduction to this new edition. Exploring the novel s genesis in Stevenson s plundering of other writers, his writer s block, and the surprisingly disturbing and complex nature of what was meant to be a children s story, Sutherland argues for the enduring vitality and appeal of Stevenson s first novel. Appendices include Stevenson s writing about the novel, contemporary reviews, and sources on which Stevenson drew (or from which he borrowed) when writing Treasure Island.
