led to imaginary treasure devised during a holiday in Scotland by Stevenson and his nephew.
The tale is told by an adventurous boy Jim Hawkins who gets hold of a treasure map and sets
off with an adult crew in search of the buried treasure. Among the crew however is the
treacherous Long John Silver who is determined to keep the treasure for himself. Stevenson's
first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers
of all ages.
