About this book
When an old sea captain dies at his mother’s inn, Jim Hawkins finds a map to the buried treasure of the notorious Captain Flint. Soon he is aboard the schooner Hispaniola, bound for a distant island — with a charming one-legged cook whose loyalties are anything but certain.
Mutiny, marooned sailors and a race for the gold: Stevenson’s adventure set the pattern for every pirate story that followed.
