As they near their destination, and the lure of Captain Flints treasure grows ever stronger, Jims courage and wits are tested to the
full. Robert Louis Stevenson reinvented the adventure genre with Treasure Island, a boys story that appeals as much to adults as to children, and whose moral ambiguities turned the Victorian universe on its head. This edition celebrates the ultimat of pirates and high adventure, and also
examines how its tale of greed, murder, treachery, and evil has acquired its classic status. Th features an informative Introduction and explanatory notes by Peter Hunt, an updated bibliography, a revised chronology, and a glossary of nautical terms. Hunt includes a Note on the Text that
highlights important variants between serial and volume publication and hes added additional appendices, featuring Stevensons short fable "The Persons of the Tale" and appendix of comparative episodes from Stevensons sources.
