Barnes & Noble Classics. Paperback. 1593082479 Book Description very good clean copy EVERYONE DREAMS OF FINDING BURIED TREASURE, and that is why Robert Louis St evenson's Treasure Island is such an enduring classic. Treasure Island, pub lished in 1883, gave Stevenson his first popular success, and it's easy to see why it remains a favorite of readers of all ages. The tale of young Jim Hawkins and his unlikely band of adventurers strikes at the very heart of our own desire to lose ourselves among hidden chests, cryptic maps, and tre acherous companions. If you loved it when you read it earlier, you owe it to yourself to revisit the deceitful Long John Silver, the dull but reliable Dr. Livesey, and the pompously na?ve Squire Trelawney. If this is your first visit to the high seas, find yourself a comfortable chair, because you won't be putting the book down until the last mutineer is brought to justice and last gold c oin counted. This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic includes a glossary and no tes to help readers unfamiliar with some of the vocabulary and nautical ter ms appreciate Stevenson's grand adventure.
