Description
Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is a thrilling tale of adventure and coming-of-age. Originally serialized in Young Folks from 1881 to 1882, this beloved novel follows the journey of Jim Hawkins as he signs on as a cabin boy aboard the Hispaniola.
Aboard the ship, Jim meets Long John Silver, a charismatic but morally ambiguous buccaneer who becomes both an antagonist and a father figure. As the story unfolds, Jim finds himself caught up in a world of mutiny, rum, and buried treasure on a mysterious island.
Mary Zimmerman's adaptation brings this epic tale to life with her signature style, blending humor and harrowing moments into a thrilling narrative that will appeal to a broad range of readers.
