About the book

Treasure Island isn’t just one of the most famous coming-of-age tales in modern storytelling, it’s also the book that invented everything you know about pirates: Peg legs, parrots, treasure chests, tropical islands, Long John Silver, maps marked with an “X,” swashbuckling adventure, and “Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.”

Its brisk pace and easy tone have stood the test of the time— Treasure Island is as readable, enjoyable, and memorable today as it ever was.
