Unabridged version of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson with 32 illustrations by Louis Rhead, offered here for chump change. A must-have collectable, Treasure Island is nonstop action that every other pirate tale must compare itself against.

Stevenson wrote, “It was to be a story for boys; no need of psychology or fine writing... Women were excluded...” And Long John Silver was to have nothing but his strength, his courage, his quickness, and his magnificent geniality.

Up for a daring adventure? Read the heart quickening tale in this unabridged, affordably printed volume that drives the reader to the last page.

Review:

"Easily accessible, bottom-of-the-page notes provide outstanding illumination of the text's literary and historical contexts, particularly biblical and nautical references that might otherwise elude modern readers. No other edition provides a better insight into the (sometimes murky) compositional processes behind this classic work of fiction. For fans of Sutherland's unique detective-style readings, the appendix of 'puzzles and conundrums' will prove an added bonus." --Roslyn Jolly, University of New South Wales
