Treasure Island

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island is the blueprint for every pirate story that followed it: a buried map, a sea voyage, and a boy who learns that grown men wear their loyalties lightly. It's a brisk adventure told by a young cabin boy who talks his way onto the Hispaniola and gets in far deeper than he bargained for.
