Treasure Island
Overview & Summary
Young Jim Hawkins finds a map to buried pirate treasure among the belongings of a mysterious guest at his family's inn, setting off a sea voyage aboard the Hispaniola where Jim discovers that the ship's charming one-legged cook, Long John Silver, is secretly leading a crew of mutinous pirates also after the gold. Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel established many of the enduring conventions of pirate fiction, from treasure maps to parrots to the pirate accent itself.
