This beautiful edition of the classic tale Treasure Island comes proudly published by Scholastic Children’s Books.
The son of the innkeepers at the Admiral Benbow near Devon, Jim Hawkins grows fascinated by a mysterious lodger, the old seaman Billy Bones, and soon realises Billy is hiding from a man with one wooden leg while guarding a much sought-after pirate’s treasure chest. When Billy Bones suddenly drops dead, Jim flees with an oilskin packet taken from inside the chest, which turns out to hold a map to Captain Flint’s treasure. What follows is a swash-buckling adventure aboard the Hispaniola, as Jim sets out to track down the treasure with the help of one-legged sea cook Long John Silver, Captain Alexander Smollett, Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey, among others – though all is not quite as it seems. Can Long John Silver really be trusted? After all, Bones did warn him of a man with one leg…
