He sets sail on the Hispaniola, but the crew includes the one-legged ship's cook, Long John Silver, who is secretly a pirate planning a mutiny. What follows is a thrilling tale of betrayal, survival, and battle on a tropical island.

Robert Louis Stevenson's novel defined the pirate genre forever. It gave us buried treasure, 'X marks the spot', and the black spot. It is the ultimate coming-of-age adventure, exploring the ambiguity of morality through the charismatic villainy of Long John Silver.
