Treasure Island (Scribner Classics)

Treasure Island (Scribner Classics)

by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author), N C Wyeth (Illustrator)

Synopsis

Ahoy, mateys! This edge-of-your-seat adventure is now sumptuously repackaged.

Masterfully crafted, Treasure Island is a stunning yarn of piracy on the fiery tropic seas--an unforgettable tale of treachery that embroils a host of legendary swashbucklers, from honest young Jim Hawkins, to sinister, two-timing Israel Hands, to evil incarnate, blind Pew. But above all, Treasure Island is a complex study of good and evil, as embodied by that hero-villain Long John Silver, the merrily unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy quest for gold cannot help but win the heart of every soul who ever longed for romance, treasure, and adventure.
