Treasure Island: The Whole Story

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

Treasure Island is one of the world's best-loved novels

All the elements of a perfect adventure yarn are here: a lost map and a search for buried pirate treasure; an engaging hero in young Jim Hawkins and a cunning villain in
Long John Silver; mutiny and murder on the high seas; and, of course a safe return to England and a happy ending.

Treasure Island is more than great storytelling. With a plot centering on ships, pirates, and sailing voyages, it is also a lively portrait of seafaring life - and a remarkable snapshot of its time.

This edition of the enduringly popular tale, with striking illustrations and extended captions unique to The Whole Story series provides the background information modern readers could otherwise access only through a broad range of supplemental research.

This distinctive approach places Treasure Island-first published in 1883 - within the context of its era bringing it vividly to life. A rich new reading experience is the result: readers can enjoy and understand the story in a way as close as possible to that of audiences when Robert Louis Stevenson first wrote it.
