{"product_id":"treasure-island-illustrated-edition-robert-louis-stevenson-9788026890720","title":"Treasure Island (Illustrated Edition): Adventure Tale of Buccaneers and Buried Gold","description":"Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of \"buccaneers and buried gold\". Stevenson conceived of the idea of Treasure Island (originally titled, \"The Sea Cook: A Story for Boys\") from a map of an imaginary, romantic island idly drawn by Stevenson and his stepson on a rainy day in Braemar, Scotland. Plot: An old sailor, calling himself \"the captain\" comes to lodge at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the west English coast during the mid-1700s, paying the innkeeper's son, Jim Hawkins, a few pennies to keep a lookout for a one-legged \"seafaring man.\" A seaman with intact legs shows up, frightening Billy - who drinks far too much rum - into a stroke, and Billy tells Jim that his former shipmates covet the contents of his sea chest. After a visit from yet another man, Billy has another stroke and dies; Jim and his mother (his father has also died just a few days before) unlock the sea chest, finding some money, a journal, and a map. The local physician, Dr. Livesey, deduces that the map is of an island where a deceased pirate - Captain Flint - buried a vast treasure. The district squire, Trelawney, proposes buying a ship and going after the treasure, taking Livesey as ship's doctor and Jim as cabin boy.... Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist, and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. A literary celebrity during his lifetime, Stevenson now ranks among the 26 most translated authors in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Louis Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8026890728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788026890720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e E-Artnow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Robert Louis Stevenson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126069260543,"sku":"9788026890720","price":12.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c345881b-b612-404b-af6c-55b3b1608287.jpg?v=1687446111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/treasure-island-illustrated-edition-robert-louis-stevenson-9788026890720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
