â??Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!â?The most popular pirate story ever written in English, featuring one of literatureâ??s most beloved â??bad guys,â? Treasure Island has been happily devoured by several generations of boysâ??and girlsâ??and grownups.The story is told by Jim Hawkins, a young boy who learns of the whereabouts of a buried treasure from the papers of an old sailor staying at his motherâ??s inn. He shows the treasure map to Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and the three determine to find it. They fit out a ship, the schooner Hispaniola, hire hands, and set off for Treasure Island. Among the shipâ??s crew are Long John Silver and some of his followers, who are after the treasure for themselves...The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boyâ??s growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honorâ??and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.
