Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert
Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold."
First published as a book on 23 May 1883, it was originally
serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881 and
1882 under the title Treasure Island or, the mutiny of the
Hispaniola with Stevenson adopting the pseudonym Captain George
North. Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, Treasure
Island is a tale known for its atmosphere, characters and action,
and also as a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality - as seen
in Long John Silver - unusual for children's literature every now
and again. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all
novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perceptions of
pirates is enormous, including treasure maps marked with an "X,"
schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen
carrying parrots on their shoulders.
