Fourteen-year-old Jim Hawkins never imagined that a mysterious old sailor staying at his family's inn would change his life forever.
After discovering a hidden map linked to the legendary Captain Flint, Jim is drawn into a dangerous voyage aboard the Hispaniola in search of buried treasure. But the journey quickly becomes far more perilous than he ever expected. Among the crew are men with secrets of their own - including the charismatic and deeply unsettling Long John Silver.
As the ship crosses the ocean toward the island, Jim finds himself caught between loyalty, fear, courage, and betrayal in a world where danger often hides behind a friendly smile.

Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh in 1850, the only son of an engineer, Thomas Stevenson. Despite a lifetime of poor health, Stevenson was a keen traveller, and his first book An Inland Voyage (1878) recounted a canoe tour of France and Belgium. In 1880, he married an American divorcee, Fanny Osbourne, and there followed Stevenson's most productive period, in which he wrote, amongst other books, Treasure Island (1883), The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Kidnapped (both 1886). In 1888, Stevenson left Britain in search of a more salubrious climate, settling in Samoa, where he died in 1894.
