Robert Louis Stevenson's tale of a sea chest, a map and a voyage after buried gold has been read aloud and read alone for well over a century. Jim Hawkins, serving at his mother's inn when an old seaman takes a room there, comes into possession of a chart that sends him aboard the Hispaniola in company with men who have their own reasons for sailing. Among them is the ship's cook, Long John Silver, a one-legged man of great charm and no loyalty, and one of the most quoted creations in English fiction.
This English edition comes from M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo, an established Sri Lankan publisher and bookseller, and appears in their Timeless Classics series — a line gathering well-known works of fiction from different periods and genres for new readers.
Suitable for older children reading independently, for classroom use, and for adults returning to a book they first met young. A straightforward way to put Stevenson's adventure story on a shelf at home or in a school library.
