Young Jim Hawkins has no reason to suspect that Billy Bones, the
pensioner who has taken up residence in his father’s inn, is
anything other than an aging former mariner. But when violent
altercations with visitors to the inn leave Billy on death’s
doorstep, Jim discovers that they all are members of the crew of
the notorious pirate Captain Flint, and that Billy has a map that
shows the whereabouts of Flint’s buried treasure. . .Â
First serialized in a children’s magazine between 1881 and 1882
as a coming-of-age story for young readers, Treasure Island has
transcended its time and intended audience. Robert Louis
Stevenson’s novel forged the template for the tale of pirate
adventure, and many of its dramatic elements—including buried
treasure, treasure maps, and pirate oaths, among others—have
become iconic parts of virtually every pirate adventure story
written in its wake. Â
