Treasure Island

Treasure Island is a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in one volume in 1883, though it had previously been serialized in a children's magazine; the original title was The Sea Cook or Treasure Island. It is an adventure tale intended for children but has been enjoyed by adults just as much. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels, and its influence on popular lore about pirates can not be overestimated.
