Treasure Island

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these elegant and collectible editions are bound in colorful, tactile, high-quality cloth with foil stamped into the design.

The story for Treasure Islandgrew out of a map that led to imaginary treasure, devised during a holiday in Scotland by author Robert Louis Stevenson and his nephew. The tale is told by an adventurous boy, Jim Hawkins, who gets hold of a treasure map and sets off with an adult crew in search of the buried treasure. Among the crew, however, is the treacherous Long John Silver who is determined to keep the treasure for himself. Stevenson’s first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers of all ages.
