'Treasure Island' is an enduring adventure tale for all time and one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. A defining work of its genre, the swashbuckling, coming-of-age story of pirates, sea battles and a quest for buried treasure begins with the passing of an old sea captain. Young Jim Hawkins has no idea what lies in store just across the horizon. With the old captain's map in hand, he soon finds himself part of a motley crew that sails in search of the buried treasure. However, the charismatic and villainous Long John Silver has other plans, and Jim must step up to save the ship, his friends and the treasure.

About the Author: Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850. The son of a prosperous civil engineer, he was expected to follow the family profession but was finally allowed to study law at Edinburgh University. Stevenson reacted forcibly against the Presbyterianism of both his city's professional classes and his devout parents, but the influence of Calvinism on his childhood informed the fascination with evil that is so powerfully explored in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson suffered from a severe respiratory disease from his twenties onwards, leading him to settle in the gentle climate of Samoa with his American wife, Fanny Osbourne.
