Book Overview

by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author)

Jim Hawkins is a young boy who helps his parents run their seaside inn. When their lodger Billy Bones dies, Jim gains possession of a map that indicates the location of a hoard of gold hidden by pirates in a Caribbean island. Jim seeks the advice of Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and together they decide to set out on a treasure hunt. The adventure starts with their journey in the schooner Hispaniola. The majority of the crew is a group of bloodthirsty pirates, led by the wily Long John Silver, preparing a mutiny. Silver also assumes the role of a father figure for Jim. The novel is filled with buried treasure and treasure maps, pirates and mutinies, gunfights and sword fights, narrow escapes, and a young hero who manages to save the day.

About Robert Louis Stevenson

Throughout his life, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was plagued by ill health, which interrupted his formal education at Edinburgh University. Pursuing the life of a bohemian during his twenties and thirties, he traveled around Europe and formed the basis of his first two books, An Inland Journey (1878) and Travels with a Donkey (1879). Stevenson gained his first popular success with Treasure Island (1883). The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which sold forty thousand copies in six months, and Kidnapped appeared in 1886, followed by The Black Arrow (1888) and The Master of Ballantrae (1889). In 1888, he set out with his family for the South Seas, traveling to the leper colony at Molokai, and finally settling in Samoa, where he died.
