Pirates and gold
I was expecting a little more depth after having read other of Stevenson's works. Jim Hawkins' parents keep an inn, to which the pirate who has possession of a treasure map comes to stay. He is found by his former companions who are greedy for his gold, and he dies of a heart attack soon after. Jim and his mother open the sea chest, taking the gold the pirate owed them for his stay, as well as the treasure map. With other friends, Jim sets out to recover the treasure, for no other reason than that the map is in his possession. Nothing seems too extraordinarily noble about that. Jim discovers that part of the crew have joined with the intention of stealing the gold for themselves, and they have little regard for the lives of others. However, this may not be considered stealing on their part, as Jim and his friends have as little right to the money as anyone else. Through many perils from very unsavory characters, Jim and the others make it back to England with a portion of the gold. He seems to have learned a lesson, however, for he states in the conclusion that nothing would tempt him back to collect the rest of the gold from Treasure Island.Read full review

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (1981, Hardcover) N. C. Wyeth Illust. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
YO-HO-HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM!!! This is the iconic novel about pirates that it stands as the best example in this topic and easily one of the most adapted to other media novels in any genre. Treasure Island was a swash-buckling adventure where the stakes were high and the Gentlemen of Fortune weren't so gentle when seeking their fortune. This book was amazing. I was totally blown away by it--the wonderful adventure story filled my head to the brim with a sense of awe and excitement I can't quite explain. Reading this fabulous book makes me connect with the movie even more...The Disney movie called "Treasure Planet" instead of "Treasure Island".

Perfect book for my pre-teen nephew.
This classic was edited and abridged in the 1930s with illustrations of pirates and parrots and scalawags of all sort for the 'ten year old boy'. Since then the young reader edition has proved to be just as loved by each succeeding generation, sparking imaginations all over the Seven Seas

Fine literature for preteens.
My primary purpose in purchasing "Treasure Island" by Robert Lewis Stevenson was to introduce classic reading to my grand-daughter, and my great nephew. The volume I chose, one for each of them, is illustrated by N.C. Wyeth, so at the same time they will be thrilled by excellent illustrations. I will purchase more copies as the children in our family reach a sufficient age to appreciate them.
